Interspace

The light sculpture consists of a seemingly chaotic cluster in which legible pictures and patterns materialise.

160m pixel LED strips are arranged organically to form a spherical object which is spaced wide enough to see through, so that every dimension of the sphere stays visible from all angles.

The installation has 9.600 randomly assembled pixels that are mapped in the three-dimensional space and are individually controllable. Because of the spatial representation of the pixels in virtual space, it is possible to form three-dimensional shapes, patterns and structures out of the chaotic cluster: an apparent intelligence that reveals itself within the seemingly random formation.

Inside the sphere, two light entities are dancing with each other, following one choreographic rule: Each entity tries to get as much distance as possible to the other one and to the wall. To decide about its next step, each one has a genetic algorithm evaluating possible options.
