Light Kinetics by Espadaysantacruz

April 6th, 2015 | Robot

Light Kinetics

Light Kinetics is an interactive installation by Espadaysantacruz, a Madrid-based, creative studio.  In the artwork, the 1st light bulb is connected to a piezoelectric sensor, which transfers force from the tap into a change in the electrical charge sent to the rest of the circuit.

The change in electrical charge then runs a physics simulator which controls the rest of the light bulbs in the circuit, leading to a roller coaster of light seen in the video above.

The project is a continuation of a previous simulation shown here:

It’s a interesting concept.. I’m excited to see what they try next.

LED Glow Skiers

You may remember this sweet Snow Surfer video that Jacob Sutton created back in 2012. Well, now it’s the skiers turn to shred the powder in ethereal LED glowing suits.

This is even what I wrote back in 2012:

“The film is haunting.  I like to imagine this is what snowboarding in the future will look like — sculpture in motion.  I hope a skiing video is soon to follow.”

Well, thank you Philips TV and Atomic Skis for making my wish a reality.

From the creators:

“From the depth of the creative visuals to the groundbreaking, never-been-done-before scale of the shoot, Afterglow is being hailed as one of the most cinematically profound ski movies ever made. Deep pillows and Alaskan spines, all filmed at night, with massive lights, custom made LED suits, and a national governments worth of logistics, planning, and civil engineering.”

On October 19th, you can find the full 12 minute video here.

“Buckyball” in Madison Square Park by Leo Villareal

This geometric light sculpture was made by Leo Villareal using 180 LED tubes driven by custom software to emit random compositions of both color and speed. A word from the artist:

“The sequence’s opacity, speed and scale can all be manipulated through custom software. Ultimately, complex compositions are formed and then displayed in random order and for a random amount of time in the final artwork.

The visual manifestation of the code in light is my core interest.

The title, “Buckyball,” is in reference to the spherical fullerene molecule with the formula C60 (Carbon 60). The molecule is said to look like a soccer ball with twenty hexagons and twelve pentagons, containing a carbon atom at each vertex of each polygon and a bond along each polygon edge (the molecule got its name from the famous creator of the geodesic dome, Buckminster Fuller).

You can read about the interesting history of the Buckyball here.

Unfortunately, this light installation was taken down in February of 2013, so it will only live on in the internet.

Olafur Eliasson – An Exploration of Light , Space, and Reason

Olafur Eliasson 1

Olafur Eliasson 2

Olafur Eliasson is a Danish-Icelandic artist who creates large-scale installations that immerse the viewer in a new sense of space. His artwork often features unconventional geometry, mirrors, and natural elements such as light, water, and stone.

The goal of Eliasson’s artwork is to help us question ideas of indivuality and collectivity, urging us to explore the link between thinking and doing. The experience he creates goes beyond entertainment into the realm of responsibility of action. But, if you don’t feel any of these emotions…

undoubtedly, his work is beautiful.

What I find particularly fascinating is that Eliasson treats his studio like a science lab. He’s even known to bring in actual scientists to advise him on new and ambitious projects. I find this borderline obsessive artistic exploration to be rather inspiring.

Nathaniel Rackowe is an installation artist who lives and works in London, UK. Taking a page out of the book of American Minimalism (written by the likes of Donald Judd and Dan Flavin), Rackowe creates beautiful neon installations which live in a world of abstraction.

If you’ve been reading this site for some time, you may know that we are suckers for neon installation art.

Colored Spheres Respond to Human Touch

From now until January 14th, 2014, you can experience a luminous new art installation at the Hong Kong Arts Centre. The design collective known simply as teamLab created this glowing field of orbs that actually responds to human touch. From the artists:

“Individual balls floating in the air communicate to each other via a wireless connection.
The balls change color when touched by people, when they bump into things, or receive a shock, and sounds are produced in relation to the colors. Those balls send this color information to other balls, which in turn send the information to balls close by, and the information spreads out so that all the balls become the same color.”

The artists hope to equate the interaction of the orbs to the growing connectivity of people across the internet. “The internet has spread through out the world. Individuals are connected to closely related people and information spreads back and forth freely between them. People act as the intermediary for the information and in an instant the information spreads and the world unifies”

So, I suppose at this very moment, I am playing a small role in the internet communication world in which we all live…
