LOCATION
Stern-Center (Thünentreppe)
LUX ARCANA
3D Mapping
For “Lux Arcana,” the rear façade of the Stern-Center forms the coordinate system for 3D mapping. Architectural views, spatial perceptions, and material understanding are shifted in favor of a narrative of a mysterious light inside the architectural shell.
In the tradition of Op Art, Felix Frank choreographs the interplay of the presence and absence of light, contrast and color, and the geometries of pattern formation. The interference of lines and forms, spherical surfaces and chromatic vibrations, the ambiguity of figures, and the reversal of perspective are compositional aspects. With the help of geometric form patterns and color figures, optical phenomena arise that simulate movement and changeability.
FELIX FRANK
From hip-hop and graffiti to 3d mapping: Felix Frank develops site-specific projections based on the detailed interplay of the selected building and the pixel-perfect reproduction as a data set. In the composition, the coordinates of the façade are overwritten by means of the geometries of light, optical principles and graphic systems. Visual illusions are created so that the static façade and the digital animation interweave to form a phygital object.
