"Cheers!" is an interactive musical installation that tries to enrich the experience of celebrating through its basic yet very common gesture: making a toast. How could this basic behavior become more engaging, in order to give the celebration a new perspective? When a user raises the glass, a soft light will turn on lighting up the liquid inside; at time same time this action lets the glass emit an harmonic and perpetual note assigned to that user. When another user raises the glass, it’s possible listening how this collaboration creates two combined notes that generate a pleasant melody and a beautiful lightscape.
