Feel the energy!


Light installations Earth, Air, Time and Singularity were made as a part of a story about time, space, and energy. These objects create space, where time stops and makes you feel the energy of the universe.

Earth is a symbol of life, it is our home planet and it gives us energy in an EVERLASTING circle of life.

Air is the symbol of quintessence - THE material that fills the region of the universe above the terrestrial sphere. It is something that unites us all, wherever we are.

Time represents a timeline and a journey from the past to the present and to the future. It moves only in one direction and displays a list of events in chronological order.

Singularity represents a location in spacetime where the density and gravitational field of a celestial body become infinite. Some theories say that singularity is formed at the center of the black hole or at the beginning and at the end of the Universe. 

 

Earth, Air and Singularity are made of metal construction cut by plasma CNC. Afterward the cutout shapes are folded and painted. Time is made using LED profiles, arranging them in an angled timeline position. Individually addressable LED lines are used in all objects and are controlled using MEGA328 microcontrollers. Every object has a moving animation, representing the everlasting energy of the Universe. In total 12x Earth, 16x Air, 17x Time, and 9x Singularity light installations were created.
