2024 Awe

There is the world that we live in and one that we imagine. [This collection of work represents an effort to] inch closer to the latter. (Frank Chimero)

Awe

Participatory Art // On display at Museum of Boulder

A participatory light sculpture positioning dichroic glass at different angles under a single beam of light to create dancing hues and a multitude of visuals

Dichroic glass, Mirrors, Arduino microcontroller, Stepper motors, Distance Sensor

Generative Art: This piece intentionally extracts the practice of generative art into the physical realm through illuminating a canvas with audience generated light and color visuals.

Vibrant Color: Minimal adjustments to angle and position resulted in drastic color changes during prototyping phase.

“Activation” Range

Hardware, Wiring, & Power

How it Works: If an individual is detected within “Activation” range, motors will rotate the six dichroic glass panels to enter a dynamic state of visual generation. Once the participant exits this range, the piece will become static and showcase the last generated visual.
