“In 2010, we created an interactive installation titled Salt Worldwide for the German Salt Museum in Lunenburg. This media installation concludes the tour through the museum, a former salt mine. Spread over a world map, 34 touch-sensitive salt crystals highlight the biggest salt mines. Millions of particles disperse over the map based on the amount of salt mined in those regions. The emissions slide down the mountain ridges, then diffuse and flow with ocean currents. We computationally designed the behavior, providing a vivid and evolving experience that changes over time. When a crystal is touched, it glows. Grains of salt pour over the table and merge into an interface, which displays detailed information about the selected salt mine in the form of text, images and movies.”
