Resonance In Light 2024 Artworks
Gamelatron ViaOro
Aaron Taylor Kuffner
Gamelatron Viaoro features 44 uniquely tuned gongs and metal phones, starting in the 30 hz range and spanning across 6 pitch registers on 10 free standing sculptures. A Gamelatron is a sound-producing kinetic sculpture presented as site-specific and stand-alone artwork made from bronze and iron instruments. The work honors Indonesia’s thousand-year-old aural tradition of gamelan, retrofitted with mechanical mallets on sculptural mounts. A physical computing system transcribes original compositions by the artist into an array of networked electrical pulsations that result in an otherworldly musical automation.
Dancing in parasympathetic resonance to the compositions of the Gamelatron, Transitions by Mark C Slee and John Parts Taylor is a site-specific volumetric LED sculpture created for Heron Arts in 2023. Natural cadences and rhythms in motion elicit a sort of digital synesthesia, via the layering of both composed and generative minimalist patterns.

Spectrascape, a collaboration between Phil Spitler and Victoria Heilweil, is a parametrically designed wall installation exploring the captivating dynamics in the undulating patterns of waves. The sculpture’s organic curves form an elegant, repeating rhythm that seduces viewers into a meditative flow. Seamlessly combining transparent acrylic and a custom light score choreographed to harmonize the sculpture's contours with the Gameletron compositions, Spectrascape appears to float and dance in space.

Luminous Waveforms
Inspired by the wash of interior colors at La Sagrada Familia and the mystique of traditional Indonesian shadow puppetry, the wall-mounted luminaires pulsate to the compositions of the Gamelatron and cover the room in saturated light. Hand-fused glass sheets mounted in custom sconce-like enclosures create the intricate dance of shadow and color in the adjacent lounge.

Planétoïds, an installation created by Arnaud Giroud, David Lesort, and Vincent Guerrieri, is a mesmerizing constellation of planets creating an immersive ethereal universe pulsating in rhythm to the music of the Gamelatron. This interplay of discs, layers of lights and shadows, and the synchronized music reveals abstract shapes in a display of low poly pixelation. Each planet is unique, as it was laser cut and then sculpted by hand. Wherever you stand, you experience a different “reality” of the installation.
