Issue de la collaboration entre Dominic Harris de Cinimod Studio et Chris O'Shea et présentée lors du Lightwave Festival qui a lieu à Dublin du 23 janvier au 20 février, "Beacon" est une installation lumineuse immersive et ludique qui interagit avec le visiteur, donnant ainsi la sensation inquiétante d'être suivi.

Descriptif original

Beacon is a kinetic light installation with a mind of its own. An array of emergency beacon lights interacts with visitors, tracking their movement through the space, creating an immersive and playful experience.

The installation exploits a transfer of technologies from existing industrial products. The beacon lights have had their internal parts replaced with custom hardware, enabling the rotation of the reflector and lamp brightness to be individually controlled. Thermal imaging cameras have been adapted to track the participants' movement through the space.

'Beacon' is orchestrated in real-time by a bespoke control system, which uses tracking information from the cameras to coordinate an interactive and highly responsive behaviour.
