RAYARRAY
The kinetic light installation “RAYARRAY” was created through the collaboration of the two media artists Simon Lang and Lucca Vitters. They worked on the concept, design and programming from 2022 to 2023. The name of the artwork is made up of the two descriptive words RAY and ARRAY. The word RAY stands for laser beams and ARRAY defines a certain arrangement or field in the field of computer science.
The installation consists of a square grid. Either a mirror or a laser is attached to each node of the grid. The mirrors can rotate, causing the incident laser beams to be reflected differently. Light as a source of information is passed from node to node and constructs a perceptible pattern. An orderly structure emerges from collective chaos.
It is not only the work itself that can be admired, above all the laser beams create a new space, illustrating a different reality that can be explored. This impression is underpinned by artificially created fog that surrounds the entire environment of the artwork.
