Lady Bug
Lady Bug is playfully shaped like a simplified ladybug. It is a multi-person interactive sculpture where standing participants control the light show for participants lying beneath.
Standing four feet high “Ladybug” is a six foot round surface covered in buttons mimicking a ladybug's dots. The top surface is a glossy red, with black details, and black buttons.
Thin steel legs hold up the body, making it feel lightweight, while creating natural dividers for laying below.
The Interaction

Since those pressing the buttons can't see the lights, they are relying on responses from those watching underneath. It fosters a giving relationship rewarding the button pushers with feedback from the LED watchers.
