Na consists of spheres hanging down that people can walk through and touch. The name, Na, comes from the periodic table, it’s the abbreviation for sodium. Just as sodium has 11 electrons, Na has 11 spheres. The layout of the spheres mirrors the electron arrangement of sodium. When seen from above, the spheres are laid out in 3 concentric circles. Each sphere is touch interactive, generating sound and light when activated. The sounds from each sphere are all different, but create harmony between each other. Na brings us into relation with the smallest elements of our world, showing us we’re all parts of a vast universe.

Purring Tiger’s mission is to bring people together in the context of ART, in a subtext of WONDER. They use technology to intertwine the human body with sounds and visuals, and foster interaction. Purring Tiger also conducts lectures and performance workshops exploring the artistic combination of the human body with technology, using interactive installations and body movement. Many of their works are created in collaboration with local/ international dancers, musicians and media artists.
Their pieces have been commissioned and appeared at the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival, Burning Man Art Festival, Brooklyn Museum of Art, Pause Festival – Federation Square (Melbourne, Australia), Tribeca Performing Arts Center, Telfair Museum, Cameron Arts Museum, and Mesa Arts Centre, to name a few. http://www.purringt.com/
