Tilen Sepič: Light Oscillator
Kinetic audiovisual installation
About the project
A kinetic light/audio installation Light Oscillator stems from the observation and studies of natural oscillations and kinetic phenomena based on gravity: from the rotation of planets to the movement of particles in the atomic level. The installation consists of light spheres, circulating in persisting slow motion. Eachs sphere emits a very bright light of complementary colours that mixed together can create the white colour. Different frequencies of rotation project onto the environment multicoloured shadows of the present spectators in a sinusoidal motion, which visitors can actively play with.
The programmed patterns of light and sound are based on different basic frequencies/oscillations that intertwine between themselves and the rotating spheres. Thus they form a generative light-sound ambiental setting that creates a meditative and emotional effect on the spectator thanks to their exact synchronization of light and sound.
