EX STRATA #1
In October 2009 the interactive Light and Sound sculpture EX STRATA #1 (4m / 12ft) was unveiled at the "Homo Ludens" exhibition in Leeuwarden, the Netherlands.

Ralfonso worked for over 3 years with the students and teachers of the following technical Universities/Schools: Hanze Hogeschool Groningen, Noordelijke Hogeschool Leeuwarden, TechnologieCentrum Noord-Nederland in conjunction with the BrainCenter of Philips, as well with the technical companies listed below in order to make this interactive Light and Sound sculpture a reality in 2009.
 

EX-STRATA; an art object of 4 meters tall you can communicate with!

The EX-STRATA sculpture is equipped with led-lighting and speakers. In response to SMS-messages and activation of the distance sensors by visitors, the sculpture produces light and sound patterns. Through a webcam, the EX-STRATA can be viewed and via the SMS function it can be manipulated from all over the world.
