‘Radius’ is a sound-reactive media installation that plays with the
light emitted by spatial arrays of light sources. Where a commonly
flat arrangement of LEDs would be conceived as a display with a
resolution too low to establish image, text or pattern, Radius is
actually home to a large number of individually controlled light
sources on a y-axis.
The introduction of a third dimension to the traditional
concept of a display turns the piece into a tangible part of the
architecture of the space. The algorithm controlling the emittance
of light creates a living organism that can be detected
