This kinetic light installation uses the interaction of glass, light and movement to stage the effect of transmission and reflection in all its facets. The movement consists of two layers: The rotation of each glass piece – of which we used 67 in total – around its on axis as well as the 40 degree axis described by each and every row in a temporal delay, thus creating a wave-like movement within the whole installation. Furthermore there are built-in sources of light, enabling an augmentation of the effect of intereference and its projection onto the surrounding surfaces. Furthermore, as the intention was to not only create an installation, but an atmosphere, the music enhancing the experience was developed as well.

»VÅG« captures the attention of the viewers and encourages them to take different perspectives, to eventually see ever new facets of light, colour and movement, as well as to rest, take a minute and enjoy the tranquility.

Created by Hannes Hummel, Flora Karger, Sebastian Oft, Dustin Schulz, Naja Schulz & Katja Trinkwalder at the Köln International School of Design, 2015.
