Audio-visual interactive installation

Concept:
Leuchtkraft in German means luminosity - one of the main characteristics of
a quantum accelerator, indicating the intensity of collision of particles from
colliding beams. The installation is an artistic interpretation of certain
principles of the operation of hadronic colliders, also used in many leading
modern centers of elementary particle physics research. Like quantum
accelerators, this work aims to explore various effects using a multi-layered
configuration (representation of detectors) and a video projection (particles)
on two opposite sides.
The size and location of translucent screens are calculated in such a way
that, when two projectors are placed opposite each other on both sides of the
screens, they create a volumetric composition with a certain stereo effect. The
interactive component regulates the dynamics of the generated video and sound,
which depends on how close a person is to the center of the installation, thus
indicating the impact of the observer on the observed system.
Visual content is implemented using the video generated within the frame of
special forms, which split the projection into zones. This approach allows to
exploit the peculiarity of this configuration, without exposing individual
areas of certain layers. By this approach, as well as by reduction of the image
brightness as the projection passes through several screens on both sides, the
volumetric construction is filled with an asymmetrical video.
Considering all mentioned above, the sound element, and the overall dynamic
of the installation, the unique composition is created, which viewers can watch
at different angles, revealing the multifaceted nature of this work.
