Spectrum Split

Published (permalink)

I love this piece by Root Kid entitled Spectrum Split (via The Register).

“Spectrum Slit is a sculptural installation that renders visible the otherwise imperceptible electromagnetic activity that permeates contemporary interior spaces. While a room may appear visually calm and silent, it is continuously traversed by dense fields of radio-frequency transmissions generated by wireless communication technologies.”

A long rectangular wall mounted light made up of thin LED filament wrapped around a frame.

The video explaining the piece and how it is is made is well worth watching. The build quality is astounding. This is exactly the kind of digital art that I’d like to create.
