Luminogroove captures the outline of the audience as a luminous skyline raising from a pool of glowing colourful light. When people dance and their heads and arms shake up and down, so does the audience's "aura". As it moves, this aura releases waves of energetic halos, with faster, thinner and more numerous halos matching increased crowd movement.

The installation creates an engaging hypnotic atmosphere, setting up the scene for a clear and lively interaction while still creating an interesting visual rhythm in line with the beats played in the room.
