An interactive pool of 5 by 2 meters and only 20 cm deep, Ex-iles was designed by Naziha Mestaoui and Yacine Ait Kaci. The interactive pool is being exhibited at the Biennale of Contemporary Art in Seville starting this October.

The purpose of this project is to create a connection between the real world and the virtual one. It works as follows: when a “volunteer” steps on the “real island” (the white circle), signals are sent throughout the pool creating a game of shadows, lights and sounds (the response of the virtual world).
