MORPH V1
Morph is a modular, kinetic, audiovisual installation that reaches beyond traditional 2D pixel arrays into the largely untouched realm of 3D, life-like digital interactivity. It demonstrates the possibilities of functional tangible media prototypes and, serves as a tool for experimenting with abstract machine movement and gesture to create personality and encourage interaction.

Morph is the first example of a fully actuated and touch-sensitive luminous spherical surface. It is a reinvention of the digital canvas that allows artists to experiment with more than just light and sound. This is the future of tangible media, a fully modular and flexible framework that allows for rapid expansion and experimentation with both form and function.
Morph is composed of 155 touch-sensitive and illuminated modules, connected by a flexible and expandable surface. Each module is completely reconfigurable and features six individually addressable LEDs to illuminate the six edges of the hexagonal surfaces.
