Light and sound art installation
The installation "Reduktor" is a minimalist light and sound art piece that transforms the invisible diversity of the physical world into a single line of light. It consists of four controllable laser modules aimed at a programmable light column positioned at the center of the space. A sensor antenna captures a wide range of invisible signals, such as electromagnetic radiation from phones and muons created by cosmic rays colliding with Earth's atmosphere.
"Reduktor" explores minimalism by translating the complexity of the universe into a linear movement of light. This piece is a poetic statement on the harmony between technology and nature. The installation symbolizes the quintessence of the universe, expressing its vastness through the simplicity of a linear form.
The work draws inspiration from the revolutionary discoveries in physics and mathematics of the 20th and 21st centuries that have reshaped our understanding of the world. Modern physics suggests that our universe can be perceived as multi-dimensional or even as a two-dimensional projection. However, "Reduktor" takes this concept further, representing the universe as a one-dimensional line of light and sound. This artistic approach underscores the profound simplicity underlying the immense complexity of our existence.
The installation emphasizes the interplay between technology and nature, demonstrating how scientific advancements transform our understanding of the macro and micro cosmos. It highlights the imperfections of measuring instruments and the observer's influence on the observed. "Reduktor" makes the invisible aspects of reality slightly more visible, bringing attention to the multi-dimensional structure of our space and offering a unique interpretation.
"Reduktor" is an artistic endeavor that distills the complexity of the universe into a single line of light. It poetically conveys the principles of the universe, making them accessible and comprehensible through a minimalist and harmonious light and sound installation.
Hardware:
- Sensor-Antenna: Captures and converts invisible signals from the surrounding environment, including electromagnetic radiation and cosmic muons.
- Laser Modules: Four lasers, working synchronously and directed at the central light column, create a visual and auditory representation of the data from the sensor.
- Light Column: The programmable light element at the center of the installation acts as a linear indicator, showing real-time changes based on the sensor's signals.
- Sound speakers.
- Mini computer. Converts sensor signals to DMX signals.
