Prismatica turns heads with the countless colourful reflections made by its giant prisms. Visitors can walk among them to see city life in every color of the spectrum, and turn the prisms to make the colors dance. After sunset, the enormous interactive kaleidoscope’s illusory effects reach a crescendo.

Prismatica is a participatory installation comprising 25 pivoting prisms more than two meters tall. Each one is made of panels covered with a dichroic film that reflects the colors of the rainbow, varying with the light source and viewing angle. Each prism is mounted on a base containing a projector that gives the installation a new dimension after nightfall. The rotation of the prisms triggers ariable-intensity bell music.
