Leuchkraft

Audio-visual interactive installation

2019

 

Leuchkraft is an audio-visual interactive installation that explores various visual effects through the artistic interpretations of operating the hadronic colliders, a branch of particle physics. Like quantum accelerators, this work aims to explore various effects using a multi-layered configuration and video projections (particles) on two opposite sides. Within the frame of special forms, the projection of video contents is split into zones. Viewers are invited to observe from different angles and distances, so that the installation reveals its multifaceted nature, its dynamics of the generated video and sound. When two projectors are opposite to each other on both sides of the screens, they create a volumetric composition with a certain stereo effect. Depending on the viewer’s proximity to the centre of the work, the interactive installation exhibits various impacts of the observer on the observed system.
