We Are All Made of Light is an immersive art installation about our interconnectedness. The installation utilizes interactive light, spatial sound and artificial intelligence (AI) to create audiovisual trails of every person's presence in the exhibiting space, meshing it with trails of other visitors from the past, present, and connecting them with future visitors. The natural beauty of the universe is evoked to reveal connections between us and the rest of the world that often stay hidden in plain sight. As visitors move through the galaxy of stars, the light is extruded in their shape, living light trails of their presence across the starscape. Once visitors leave, their trails of light remain in the constellation and are added to the collection of trails that others have left behind. With every new visit, the number of light trails increases and reflects the growing history of the space. Each new person visiting the space is immersed in starscape filled with light that marks the presence of everybody who was part of the piece. Over time, the exhibiting space becomes an archive of people's presence and evidence of how all of us are connected to others, past and present. Such experience raises awareness among visitors about the traces their presence leaves in the space and time that they inhabit. It asks each visitor to consider what does being immersed in this mesh of trails lends us in the understanding of each other and our collective legacy?
