4 speakers, 4 light sources and 2 cameras are placed within a space which is at least partially isolated from light and sound coming from outdoors and is provided with a lockable entrance; a computer is located outside the ombea space with max/msp/jitter patch which serves to direct the space reaction.
Ombea is a way of the space to express itself.
Ombea reacts to movement of a visitor within the space depending on: [movement = dark + noise] or [calm = light + silence] and that reaction takes place on various levels depending on the history of behavior of a visitor.
Visitor (or visitors) is „locked“ inside the ombea for 8 minutes the element of time being, therefore, also important part of Ombea but anyone can leave sooner or later as he wants.
