Pendulum is a kinetic audiovisual installation that invites the audience to interact with it.
It features a suspending screen that can swing freely and acts as the intersection between the tangible and the intangible. The screen renders a slice of a virtual shape which remains fixed in the physical space regardless of the screen’s orientation and movement. Through the periodic motion of the pendulum the shape is fully revealed in 3 dimensions, creating the illusion that the virtual space extends beyond the boundaries of the screen and into the physical world. A sonification process turns the rendered image into an audible signal that fluctuates in perfect sync with the pendulum’s motion. The installation functions as an experimental interface offering new possibilities for experiencing and interacting with virtual worlds.
Through a sensory game of light, sound, and movement, Pendulum allows us to transform the way we perceive our world. Activating our senses in non-traditional ways, the installation tricks the brain to create poetic fiction. The artwork seeks to reflect on human perception, as a prism of infinite possibilities to understand reality, exploring the limits between the physical and the digital.
