Morphing light art installation

MEMBRANE is a large-scale illuminated glass cube offering an outside view into the infinite universe.This walkable room structure hosts a light object made out of mutually facing spy-glass mirrors and foil mirrors attached to an air tank and a compressor. Inner edges of the cube are traced by luminescent tubes creating an illusion of a limitless light grid locked in the vertigo of its own multiplication. The hypnotic power of the illuminated space induces a state of mute fascination. When the flanking machine is turned on, the (de)compressed air-tanks deform the foil mirrors of the cube producing alternate convex and concave planes, morphing into a range of surface phenomena similar to graphic ornaments.
