In the past few years, several digital products, including wearable technology and apps, have changed how we interact at live concerts/events and given us a reason to use our smartphones for something other than watching a concert.
Opus Lux is an application for smartphones and tablets that enables you to express the emotional impact, that the music or experience has on you and send the expressions back to the eventspace or concert-hall as color signals.
Opus Lux is a collaborative tool that enables the audience to make a collective, realtime impact at a concert—or any event—beyond mere applauding and cheering. It is done by collecting feedback from the audience and transforming it into an augmented layer that expands the concert experience.
During Opus Lux concerts the audience is co-creators of a unique live light scenography along with the music and the musicians.
When the music is playing, you, being an audience, gets the opportunity to select a color from the app's color / emotional compass. The color is chosen intuitively from what the music inspires you.
All color choices are collected in an online administration module where they are visaualized into a mapping, to show the choices of the crowd.
The Visual mapping – a graph, can be directly translated into a ligth expression, a music score or some other digital or analogue output.

You can easily create your own Opus Lux account for hosting your own Opus Lux experience. What you need Is to enter the www.Opus-lux.dk page and create a new Opus Lux sub page.
Once your account is active you will receive an specific Url which you can distruíbute to your audience and administration access to a live-graph.
We believe there are many possible routes for the project to take. So we have decided to release it as an open tool for the rest of the world to use and we look forward to see how others will use it and how new experiments can explore Opus Lux.

During a period of 1,5 years Opus Lux has been tried out in different contexts.
The Exambles below can give you some inspiration on how to integrate the Opus Lux app into your concert or event experience:
Opus Lux used for a political conference. When a particular political topic was discussed, the audience member chose colours according to whether he or she supported that notion or not. The aggregated choices were turned into a graph-based score, which orchestra musicians used as a guide to interpret and perform a musical piece.
