The Prairie of Possibilities

To walk through the Prairie is to stroll through a metaphysical field that (for some mysterious reason) has briefly become visible to the human eye. Participants walk a gently-sloping path among swaying grasses, stroking the glowing fibers. The grass stalks are outfitted with an array of sensors that enable it to respond to participants’ behavior and demonstrate a sense of interactive ‘aliveness’. 

 

Interactive elements include the glowing Portals at the Prairie perimeter, hidden hot-spots in the platform that enable effects in the field, and the story-collector phone booths, collecting the stories that echo events back to participants in the field.
