New interactive art installation alert!! Quantum Spire is a playful, immersive science & art installation with 576 custom touch sensitive springs that visualises quantum physics in an accurate, but playful way. It's a variation of Quantum Jungle, but folded around a free-standing triangular base. Designed for the Forum Wissen Göttingen @forumwissengoe , where it's on show for the next 6 months as part of a special exhibition on quantum physics called "Was zum Quant?!". Scientifically, it visualises the Quantum Walk, a concept from quantum computing. #quantumspire #quantumjungle #lightart #interactiveinstallation #interactiveart #forumwissen #goettingen #quantumphysics #quantumwalk #iyq #schrodinger #schrodingerscat #arduino #teensy #esp8266 #leds #art #artscience #doorstopper

I just installed the largest Quantum Jungle yet in Wolfsburg, Germany! With 1008 touch-sensitive springs and thousands of LEDs it playfully visualises the movement of a quantum particle in a beautiful way. It's on show from the 14th April 2024.

Today I added two more Line Wobblers to the gallery at @filefestival to fill some extra space that became available, making this the most Wobblers I've shown at the same time!

The multi-awarded Line Wobbler by Robin Baumgarten returns for Isle of Games 2026! Line Wobbler is a one-dimensional dungeon crawler with a custom controller made out of a spring and a five metre long LED strip display that can be adapted to Bíó Paradís' interior design. It is an award-winning experiment in minimalism in game design, use of novel input mechanics, and the incorporation of physical space.   Line Wobbler has been exhibited at over 100 exhibitions in a wide variety of contexts, so don't miss it at Isle of Games!

From shifting projections and migratory movement to quantum interaction and dissolving matter, these are a few of the works shaping this year’s CURRENTS 2026 Art & Technology Festival ✤ CURRENTS 2026 | June 12 - June 21 ✤ At @elmuseocultural_sf | 555 Camino de la Familia ✤ Early Bird Tickets out now link in bio! ⋆˙⟡ ⋆.˚ ⊹₊⟡ ⋆ Quantum Jungle by Robin Baumgarten @robin.wobbles is an interactive installation of touch-sensitive springs and LEDs that turns complex concepts from quantum physics into a playful, hands-on experience for all ages. Threaded Light by Jess Lanham @jesslan4 transforms charcoal and fire-scarred ponderosa pine from the Hermit’s Peak/Calf Canyon burn scar into a haunting projection work that reflects on memory, regeneration, and the shifting meaning of home. Cluster Ache by Morgan Woolverton @morgan_woolverton layers hand-drawn sculptural panels with AI-animated projections, merging traditional mark-making with digital processes to create a shifting animated environment. Birds In Flight by Julia Daser @julia.daser and Pepi Ng @pepzicles is a kinetic sculpture that visualizes real-time bird migration across the United States, translating invisible aerial movement into a constantly shifting physical experience. Ephemera by Leffin C @leffinc uses mist, copper, and condensation to meditate on impermanence, questioning humanity’s desire to leave behind traces that can outlast time and memory. ——— Support from #neaArts #NMArts #SFArtsandCulture #SFEconomicDevelopment #SFCountyLTab mediaTheFoundation KindWorldFoundation

We first experienced Quantum Jungle at IGNITE Broward in 2024 and immediately fell in love with the piece. At Lumenaura, it was the first time the installation was presented without the artist on site, and our team successfully brought it to life by carefully following Robin’s precise German instructions. A standout for its kinetic precision and minimalistic brilliance, Baumgarten’s piece demonstrated the festival’s most experimental use of technology and real-time interaction. Innovation in Light & Technology Award – Robin Baumgarten @robin.wobbles Quantum Jungle is an interactive art installation that playfully visualizes Quantum Physics concepts on a large wall filled with over 1000 novel touch-sensitive metal springs and thousands of LEDs. It calculates Schrödinger’s Equation to model the movement of a quantum particle, and demonstrates concepts such as superposition, interference, wave-particle duality, and quantum waveform collapse while maintaining a playful approach that attracts children and adults alike. Berlin-based artist Robin Baumgarten creates tactile interactive installations that respond instantly to human touch, often using metal springs and custom sensors to translate physical movement into dynamic LED visualizations. #PublicArt #LightArt #ImmersiveArt #Lumenaura monochronicle

Line Wobbler - Robin BAUMGARTEN Aujourd’hui, nous vous présentons un jeu atypique en 1D. Line Wobbler a été créé et développé par Robin Baumgarten, un artiste allemand. Il expérimente des œuvres ludiques à l’aide de ressorts et de LEDs, créant tantôt un jardin quantique, tantôt un arbre de vie. Line Wobbler reprend les principes des jeux de type Die and Retry mais aussi des Dungeon Crawler, alors préparez-vous à retenter les mêmes niveaux en boucle avant d’atteindre le boss de fin. 📅 À retrouver lors du Random Bazar Festival du 13 février 2026 au 7 mars 2026 📍 Au Shadok

@robin.wobbles no solo crea juegos, crea experiencias. El artista detrás de Line Wobbler también firma otra instalación única en OXO Museo del Videojuego Madrid: Quantum Jungle 🌌 Una obra que juega con la física cuántica, el movimiento y la percepción… y que además es simplemente hipnótica de ver. Gracias, Robin, por formar parte de este proyecto y por recordarnos que el videojuego también es arte, ciencia y emoción. 🎮✨

The first outdoor installation of Quantum Jungle is live now in Switzerland! First in @zauberpark_zurichairport and now in @zauberwald_lenzerheide . It's been super solid so far at freezing winter temps 😎 Also with brand new reactive audio by @goldmass_music that we developed for another exhibition over the last month.

🎮✨️ Recap - Eröffnung des NEXT LEVEL Festivals im Künstlerhaus ✨️🎮 Vielen Dank an alle Gäste, die mit uns die Eröffnung des @nextlevel_festival gefeiert haben! Hier sind nun ein paar Eindrücke des Abends und die Ausstellungsstücke! Beim betreten der Ausstellung werden die Besucher*innen zunächst von "Quantum Jungle“ begrüßt, eine interaktive Lichtinstallation über die Geheimnisse der Quantenwelt von @robin.wobbles . „Quantum Jungle“ ist eine interaktive Installation, die Quantenphysik spielerisch erfahrbar macht. Über 1000 berührungssensitive Metalfedern und tausende LEDs verwandeln Schrödingers Gleichung in leuchtende Muster, die Superposition, Interferenz und Wellen-Teilchen-Dualität sichtbar werden lassen. Auf der rechten Seite befindet sich dann das abstrakte Videospiel-Labyrinth „The Core“, voller Zukunftsbilder und Entscheidungen von @dorijansisko . In Dorijan Šiškos Spiel durchqueren Spieler*innen ein abstraktes Labyrinth, das Zukunftsbilder entwirft und zugleich in Frage stellt. Entscheidungen öffnen immer neue Wege, bis im Zentrum die Vorstellung einer verfolgten Zukunft entzaubert wird. Schräg gegenüber finden die Besucher*innen dann eine "The Siren" von @melanie.courtinat , ein Spiel, das Regeln und Erzählmuster neu befragt. The Siren beginnt wie ein vertrautes Abenteuer: eine Heldin in Rüstung, ein Auftrag, eine Stimme, die den Weg weist. Doch schnell kippt das Spiel und hinterfragt, warum wir Befehlen folgen, wie wir Sinn suchen und welche Geschichten wir uns vom „Rettungsakt“ erzählen. Ein Werk, das Spielen und Zuschauen gleichermaßen öffnet. Neugierig geworden auf mehr? Dann schaut doch gerne bei uns vorbei! 👀 1.⁠ ⁠Robin Baumgarten - „Quantum Jungle“ 2.⁠ ⁠Dorijan Šiško - „The Core“ 3.⁠ ⁠Mélanie Courtinat - „The Siren“ 📷 Foto Credit: Charlotte Ernst 📌 Kuratiert von Lex Rütten @lex.ruetten_ und Viv Lennert @metafrau 📅 13.
