LOCATION
STERNPLATZ
FLUX
Interactive Installation
The installation consists of 4,800 meters of LED strips that form a three-dimensional grid. The 144,000 pixels of these LEDs run at 100 frames per second and create flowing transitions between abstraction and figuration. Four high-speed cameras capture visitors’ movements and translate them into dynamic light choreographies.
The installation uses individually developed software and hardware interfaces to synchronize image and sound with millisecond precision. It transforms physical data such as movement, position, and speed into a synaesthetic experience. The 100 Hz refresh rate of the LEDs creates a hypnotic fluidity reminiscent of liquid metal or energetic plasma flows. The installation’s themes are playful exploration of the interaction between man and technology, the analog world, and digital imaging.
KSAWERY KOMPUTERY
From design studies to digital environments: Ksawery Kirkelewski is the author of interactive installations, generative animations, music videos and phygital sculptures. In their interview, Ksawery Kirkelewski and his team talk about how “FLUX” is an interactive light installation that makes the invisible flows of digital communication visible. Inspired by the pandemic and the growing importance of virtual connections, the work uses 4,800 metres of LED strips and high-speed cameras to translate data into light and sound.
