Kinetic light art installation
A permanent kinetic light art installation, ‘m0za1que’ is featured on the main wall of the entrance hall at maison mecatronique, annecy-le-vieux, france. produced by belgium-based agency LAb[au] the piece relates motion with color through the phenomena of light. the 3.4m x 6m wall is divided into 26×15 squares, where each of the 390 tiles is motorized by a linear actuator with a 10cm range. the individually controlled motion system creates three-dimensional reliefs of geometric patterns, which evolve following the logic of cellular automata. during the day the programmed motifs draw black shadows, while in the evening colored shadows appear. three light-projectors in primary colors of red, green, and blue creates a uniform white illumination on the wall – the shadows in the tiles appear in the secondary colors of light. the colored illuminated surfaces appear and disappear according to the facade’s movement.
