Canvas, the leading Middle Eastern arts and culture magazine, featured VOUW's Chairwave installation as a standout work in their comprehensive review of Noor Riyadh 2024, the world's largest light art festival. The writer noted Chairwave as 'the real standout' among the 62 installations, praising its retro game show-style hotseat energy that explicitly discourages social distancing. The review highlights how when someone sits down, the seats next to them light up and unfold—creating a scenario where you cannot sit alone—embodying VOUW's slowtech philosophy. The review positions Chairwave as a compelling example of meaningful interaction design within a festival that featured works by 61 artists from 18 countries.
