Resonance - Reflective Kinematronic III is a expansive kinetic installation made of light, movement and a mirrored body. The body in this case consists of 17 wave-shaped metal blades that combine to form a single, continuously undulating wave. wires attached to the ends of the metal ribbons link them to three helical tubes suspended under the ceiling with a pulley system. The helixes are each powered by a separate motor and turn on their axis. as the three revolve at different speeds, an ever-changing multiplexed pattern of movement is produced. the movement is literally coded in hardware.
A spotlight is focused on and reflected by the polished metal blades, creating an abstract, moving light architecture that overlaps with, expands and adds a new dynamic to the actual physical space.
Visitors enter the dynamic between the physicality of the sculpture and the immateriality of the reflected light architecture. Their direct reflections on the sculptural and the shadows cast in the light play merge them with the installation.
The work was realized for the exhibition "moving spaces" Alva Aalto Museum, Aalborg. Realized in conjunction with my friends and colleagues at art+com. Special mention: Jussi Aengeslevae , Ralf Ronneberger.
