Light Kinetics es una instalación lumínica interactiva controlada por físicas, creada por el estudio madrileño de Espadaysantacruz.
Está compuesta por 78 lámparas de tungsteno conectadas a un rack con dimmers DMX, los cuales están controlados por un simulador de físicas realizado en Unity3D.
Light, as we usually see it, is an element that lacks mass, to treat it under the laws of gravity is somehow magical. The laws that describe the behaviour of light are hardly understandable because it neither behaves as body or as a wave. As Einstein wrote concerning the wave-particle duality: “We have two contradictory pictures of reality; separately neither of them fully explains the phenomena of light, but together they do”. In this project, we have built a computer simulator that reduces this extraordinary phenomenon to the simple classical mechanical laws.
