Projected Topographies

'Projected Topographies' is an interactive light installation that reveals different micro-topographies of reflective surfaces as projected ‘light drawings’. An immersive laboratory composed of different scale elements that each use a simple setup of a light source, a reflecting surface and a screen to magnify minuscule conditions that are normally overlooked.

The installation is grounded in a direct physical phenomena that challenges the liminal nature of our senses - though we understand that a surface contains events in a micro-scale which we cannot easily detect with our naked eyes, when they are transcribed through a simple act of reflection it seems otherworldly.

Sound-scapes by Torben Pastore enhances the immersive environment and allows the viewer to enter the space of the light drawings and experience them as live scapes.
