Murmur is an interactive installation that marries physical and virtual reality by turning sounds into visuals. The device encourages visitors to speak into a luminous funnel and then follow their whispers as they hit a specific point on a wall. Upon impact the light pulses, and the words transform into a graphic animation.   
  
”There is a magical effect, a mystery in the way that sound waves move. Murmur focuses on this movement, thus creating an unconventional dialogue between the public and the wall.”   
  
To create this installation [Chevalvert](http://www.chevalvert.fr/?ref=protein.xyz) (who also helped design [L-Ink](https://www.prote.in/en/feed/2013/03/l-ink?ref=protein.xyz)) teamed up with [2Roqs](http://www.2roqs.fr/?ref=protein.xyz), [Polygraphik](http://polygraphik.com/?ref=protein.xyz) and [Splank](http://www.splankstudio.com/?ref=protein.xyz). For programming they used openFrameworks on Raspberry Pi. Murmur debuted on the 25th of May at Nuit Numérique #10 at the [Saint-Exupéry Cultural Centre](http://www.saintex-reims.com/saintex.php?ref=protein.xyz) in Reims, France.
