International Dance Party transforms to a booty shaking powerhouse
The "International Dance Party", an installation by the super talented Berlin-based artist, Niklas Roy, is a complete plug 'n' play party in a box. Equipped with radar sensing technology, the system can sense activity nearby and quickly transform from an idle box into a psychedelic light and laser dance machine with a 600W sound system that will make the room bounce with excitement. The machine even taunts its audience with ambience with a built-in smoke machine that spews fog onto the dance floor. When everyone has left the room, the machine quickly transforms back to its static state and waits quietly for the next party to start.

Thanks, Jonah, for your nice article. But I should also mention, that I didn't build the thing alone. It was a collaboration between me and my collegue Adad Hannah. And the music was provided by the super talented nerdcore producer Baddd Spellah!
