Event Horizon
About the Sculpture
The passage of infinite reflections “Ereignishorizont // Event Horizon” proposes the expansion of a transit area by the use of light. New dimensions become visible when the light interacts with the facets of a system designed to deceive the senses. What was apparent might not be there. What we think may not exist, now seems real and is displayed in front of us. An endless game of shapes that twists our perception of space-time continuum.
A self-composed music piece intensifies the experience of the passers-by and places an accent on the abstract happening of each visitor. The piece is based on the usage of low frequencies and it is played only by subwoofers, 2 on each side of the tunnel, which bring the whole structure to vibrate and resonate, filling up the space within and having an influence on the audience much more on a physical level than on a perceptual level.
Technical Details
The Sound / Light installation can be installed in open spaces as well as in interior spaces, and it consists of a structure of stable aluminium profile, which holds plates of mirrored Dibond on the side walls as well as the ceiling, transforming the passage into an “infinite” reflective tunnel, 10 meters long, 2,5 meters high, 3 meters wide. A grid of (110 meters) addressable LED strips are mounted inside of the aluminium structure and controlled by a special software and hardware in order to display patterns specifically designed for the piece. Each individual LED is operated independently and receives specific values of hue and brightness. In this way, it is possible to produce beautifully complex patterns throughout the entire grid. The effects of this system amplified by the reflections phenomena created by the opposition of mirrored plates, provides endless perceptual possibilities.
