joshua kirsch: concentricity interactive light series

세상에나... 이런 고수가 있었다니..  역시 세상은 넓고 고수는 많다.

내가 진행중인 키네틱 라이팅은 완전 걸음마 였어 ㅜ.ㅜ

오늘 부터 완전 존경합니다.

concentricity is an interactive light sculpture series by joshua kirsch. consisting of three
individual pieces - concentricity 96, 80, 16 - each one presents an illuminated white handle
in which a viewer is invited to move in any desired direction. reed switches located within
the sculpture's circuitry sense the movements of a magnet that is contained in each of the
sculpture's handles, translating this information into the form of LED light.

concentricity 96 utilizes 96 white LEDs whose light floods through the sculpture's
honeycomb-like aluminum frame, casting a range of shapes and patterns on the wall.

80 blue/white LED lights make-up concentricity 80, which are visible from both sides
of the sculpture. the front side of the aluminum disk is flat, containing circles in which the
LED lights are illuminated. the back of the sculpture displays the LED on five concentrically
arranged circles.

this third piece of the series, concentricity 16, spans the height of a room from floor to ceiling
and can be adjusted according to varying room heights. here, green/white LEDs are used
in an arrangement which are visible from both the back and front of the sculpture.
