Studio Roosegaarde’s focus is human interaction. Headed by Daan Roosegaarde, the team creates pieces that move and react to peoples’ movements and sounds. These “living objects” span from installations of plant like objects, such as Dune and Lotus, to simple walls and objects, like Flow and Lunar, to more complex objects that can change their size and shape, like Liquid Space and Liquid 2.0, and even to fashion, as seen in Intimate.

One of the most interesting works, in my opinion, is the Sustainable Dance Floor. Basically, it transfers the energy of dancers’ footfalls into pure energy that is used to power the club. It fascinated me because it made me think about how much energy we create in our day-to-day lives that could be harvested in this fashion.
