Kinetic art is all about the interplay between space, sound, and time, and this kinetic installation, called Tessel by David Letellier & Lab[au], explores the relationship between these three concepts. It takes its name from the term “tessellation” which means a geometric surface that has been tiled, like the structure of a honeycomb. The artists explain it below:The installation is constituted of a suspended and articulated topography of 4 × 2 m, subdivided into forty triangular mirrors. Twelve triangles are fitted with motors and eight triangles are equipped with audio transducers, which transform the surface into a dynamic sonic space. A dialogue between space and sound is created as the surface slowly modifies its shape, our perception of it altered through continuously changing light and sound reflection.The project inscribes itself within the art historical continuum, from Victor Vasarely's optical art to Buckminster Fuller's synergetics, while continuing the quest for processual beauty in the numeric realm.[via Today and Tomorrow]
