Lightbreak
Produced for Bright Moments Paris, Lightbreak is an exploration of light reflection and refraction. The algorithm used allows for an extension beyond the typical behaviors of light, including allowing light to reflect off itself, with each piece mapping out different outcomes. The works are reactive, and respond to curser interaction.
“Watching a DVD logo bounce around a tv, our inclination is to predict where it will go. There is a well-defined process of particle and boundary that makes this possible. But what if the particle and boundary were the same? If there was no distinction, if a point could reflect against its own history, if a ray could change its conditions as it experiences them? If light could interact with itself and countless others simultaneously in a fractalized infinity, shaped by time, giving structure to time itself — where might it end up?”
