iscoutu is a free, non-commercial interactive audiovisual artwork. It combines three generative light sculptures, ambient music, synthetic vocal textures and English poetry. There is no advertising or sale.

The artwork contains 55 fictional adult portraits with varied appearances. The faces appear in iridescent bubbles, travel through the ring toward an imagined glass surface, rebound and dissolve. The portraits do not identify real people or claim an ethnic classification.

Visitors can select **Meet someone** for a new encounter, open **All 55** for the gallery, move a bubble by holding it, release it, and turn automatic encounters on or off with **Drift**. Each face has its own encounter poem. Three movements contain another 24 poems. The 90-second journey visits the three movements.

**Listen** reads the current English poem when a compatible local device voice is available. Audio begins after a visitor action. The artwork does not request microphone or camera access. Mute, pause and reduced-motion preferences are supported.
