Dynamic Ground is a kinetic floor developed by Adam Lassy and Adi Marom for NYU’s ITP Winter Show. Each interconnected hexagon is operated by a central motor connected to a light sensor. When someone walks on the platform and covers the sensor, the design underneath either expands or contracts, depending on its resting state. It’s not walking on sunshine so much as stepping on snowflakes. [ITP Winter Show]

I feel like it should be doing the opposite – expanding as the feet come down upon it. Of course, the strength of each ‘flake’ probably wouldn’t allow this…?
