Jellystic is an interactive sound and light installation that draws attention to microplastic pollution in the oceans. Artificial jellyfish, animated by sensors and microcontrollers, react to the presence of viewers and emit subtle sounds and movements. The work reflects on the consequences of human consumption and waste, transforming the exhibition space into an immersive reminder of the fragile relationship between technology, nature, and ecological crisis.
