Metamorphic Light
The Rock - Bury
2010
This is your interactive light sculpture. After a long time and much work we hope you enjoy it.
From the beginning of 2009 for over 10 months artist Jo Fairfax and lighting designer Adam Spinos, from Look4ideas Design have joined forces in a collaboration to deliver this artwork.
23 hollow light sculptures of various heights made from 20mm thick opaque acrylic. Inside each light sculpture there are two rows of Look4ideas branded pixel LEDs. Each Pixel LED is individually controlled and can achieve thousands of colours.
Each light sculpture has an ultrasonic sensor that can trigger various pre-programmed light sequences giving an organic interaction with the environment.
This light sculpture is dynamic and can evolve over time. It is equipped with an extremely intelligent architectural light controller that can be adapted for future events and themes happening in the town, for example Christmas day, Valentine’s Day, Easter day, commercial events etc.
There is enormous diversity and potential, organic development with this light sculpture. The programming potential for this piece is immense and can be transformed over time to suit Bury requirements as they arise.
An example: the sculpture can be used for is as a science and art teaching tool. Local or visiting schools can log in to the light sculpture and experiment with light forms and animations, convert mathematical equations to light or even play animations and videos in an abstract way.
To conclude, this is not just an attractive light sculpture for Bury town centre but an interactive dynamic artwork that can leave a legacy and create a land mark for the area as well as attract economic growth dovetailing with local regeneration.
