Biolumen is an artificial video object absorbing light available in its surroundings and reacting audio-visually to its intensity fluctuations. The information transfer through a computer from tiny photoresistors to a big projection screen follows the logic of ‘Small Medium Large’ and illustrates the predominant desire in the age of digital miniaturization to gain control over the large amount of data using smallest possible, ubiquitous electronic devices.
The work is an experiment combining elements of generative art and sensor fusion potentially applicable in the commercial field of interface design and gaming.
Biolumen was a collaborative project with Pawel Pokutycki and Przemek Siemon, premiered at the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague, as part of the Small/Medium/Large group exhibition (Nov. 9th – Dec. 14th, 2007).
