This infamous experiment reveals the wave-particle duality of subatomic particles and continues to generate diverse ontological interpretations of quantum mechanics. The installation takes the concept that matter can be conceived as waves interacting with each other, where intricate interference patterns in quantum fields manifest as observable phenomena across different sensory modalities.

The installation employs two Microsoft Kinect sensors to detect water surface waves by analyzing refraction patterns of infrared light passing through the body of water. This captured wave data is processed by a digital computer that translates the physical wave shapes into both audio synthesis, functioning like a wavetable synthesizer, and visual output through laser beam modulation. The laser projects downward through the water, its form dynamically shaped by the real-time wave analysis, creating a continuous feedback loop between physical water movement, digital processing, and light projection.

Visitors interact with the installation by creating disturbances on the water surface through hand movements or physical contact, generating ripples that are immediately detected by the infrared sensor array. These water waves are converted into corresponding audio frequencies and laser beam patterns, creating real-time audiovisual feedback that directly corresponds to the physical wave properties. The system demonstrates wave mechanics principles by translating the amplitude, frequency, and interference patterns of water waves into synthesized tones and modulated laser projections, allowing participants to observe how wave phenomena propagate and transform across different physical and digital media within the installation's closed-loop environment.
