Joshua Kirsch: Interactive Light Sculpture

Concentricity 96 from Joshua Kirsch on Vimeo.

I like to play around with light sculpture, and have done a few light projects recently (including my Halloween costume), so Joshua Kirsch’s work is a huge inspiration. ‘Concentricity 96’ is an amazing piece that allows the user to interact and control the flow and direction of light. It’s part of a series of interactive sculpture. Says Kirsch on his portfolio site,

“Concentricity is an interactive light sculpture series. Each of the three works presents an illuminated white handle which the viewer is invited to move in any direction. Reed switches located within the sculpture’s circuitry sense the movements of a magnet contained in the handle and translate that information into LED light. Concentricity 96 employs 96 white LEDs that shine through the sculpture’s honeycomb-like aluminum frame to create shapes and patterns on the wall.”
