“Dialogue” is an exploration of a future where an empathetic technology enables our living spaces to communicate and interact with us, encouraging a deeper connection with our environments.

Dialogue creates a space that senses presence, creating a shared visual memory that evolves with every interaction. Part of the Television Centre’s London Design Festival 2024 showcase, this installation uses Synthetic State's advanced sensory lighting system to respond to individual and crowd dynamics. By highlighting the architecture of 2 Television Centre, Dialogue demonstrates how light can reactivate spaces, guide flow and foster a communal atmosphere.

Observe your impact on the space as each interaction creates a “trace”, dynamically shaping the environment in real time. Sensors (within the Beacons on the ground floor) capture the subtlety of your individual presence, blending it with the collective flow and density to create a shared experience. Colour and gradients throughout the entire installation softly illuminate and intensify, reflecting the energy of the space and supporting the Television Centre’s identity as a "creative hub" of human and architectural connection.

At the heart of Dialogue is a bio-inspired processor, a prototype exploring “Interfaceless Interfaces,” where natural, spatial interaction replaces traditional clicks and buttons. This installation showcases how novel technology can push the boundaries of traditional lighting design and its vast potential for both artistic expression and functional enhancement.
