About the artwork
The Particle v2 is a kinetic light-and-sound sculpture. Four rapidly rotating rings generate three-dimensional luminous forms, while algorithms and mathematical functions connect movement with sound composition. Visual persistence enables the perception of changing surfaces and volumes. This version extends research begun with The Particle in 2010 and offers a sensory experience of light, music, synaesthesia and generative audiovisual creation.
