“The Particle”, by Alex Posada, at Ars Electronica Festival 2011
“The Particle”, by Alex Posada will be exhibited at the Festival Ars Electronica 2011. This international event about art and new media, which has been taking place since 1979 in Linz (Austria) is amongst the most important and prestigious of the world.“The Particle” is a kinetic sculpture developed by MID, with Hangar.org and Strobe Festival ‘s support, and which experiments with colour, sound and movement. It ways around 150 kg, and is made up of several rings of colour made with multicolour LEDs that spin when there is an audible sound. The luminous shape emerges from the limited movements of each of the 4 rings when there are modifications in the external conditions (the viewers), or when a random mutation appears.
