Tokyo-based multi-disciplinarians [teamLab](http://www.team-lab.net/?ref=protein.xyz) have created a new art installation that mimics interaction on the web. An all-encompassing maze composed of giant, hovering orbs, visitors are encouraged to interact with the installation as much as possible.   
  
Sensitive to human touch – and contact with other objects (and each other) – each orb is engineered to morph in hue depending on how it is treated. With every orb connected via a wireless connection, ripples of intense colour change can be seen emanating from the original sphere – representing the spread of information between individuals on the internet.   
  
A piece of art inspired by digital social interaction like [Nature of Man in Rhapsody of Light at the Water](https://www.prote.in/en/feed/2013/06/nature-of-man-in-rhapsody-of-light-at-the-water?ref=protein.xyz), the installation can be experienced as part of [Distilling Senses: A Journey Through Art and Technology in Asian Contemporary Art](http://www.hkac.org.hk/en/calendar.php?id=1289&ref=protein.xyz) at the [Hong Kong Arts Centre](http://www.hkac.org.hk/en/?ref=protein.xyz), and runs until 14th January.
