Light Collider
Interactive and Kinetic LED sculpture, LED display system2015
Artist Gabriel Pulecio approached us to develop a custom display software for an interactive kinetic LED sculpture entitled Light Collider. For this project we developed a turnkey LED display playback system that allowed for high speed video and audio content to drive the installation.
From the artist:
“Light Collider is an 8 foot long kinetic interactive installation commissioned by Day for Night, an experiential music and arts festival taking place in Houston, TX December 19-20 of 2015 curated by Alex Czetwertynski.
The rotating sculpture, composed of 240 pieces reacts to its environment. By using controllable LEDs the sculpture refracts and reflects the light projected onto it, breaking it and reforming it onto the white wall.
This Caustic experience is reflected through the body of the sculpture as it rotates as an infinite spiral. A fully interactive sculpture that reacts differently depending on the number of people around it and their positions relative to it.”
