Looking Outwards #1: Volume (Interactive cube of responsive mirrors that redirects light and sound)

 

 

 

 

This interactive cube of responsive mirrors are made by the NY based art and architecture collective, Softlab. I was fascinated by this project because of its work in combining sound and light into the same place. Especially how the sound and light were used as the building elements of the project. It took the artist a study in the visualization of extremely small particles that compose the air. The human eye cannot see them, but it was made possible with the implementation of the sound and the light.

The responsive mirrors are regulated and controlled by a specific set of computer commands. This would not differ very much from the ordinary software we use in our daily lives. The lights are LED bulbs as well, which is the major source of light in modern buildings. This project opens the door to many visual opportunities for the “invisible”, and the abstract, tangible.
