Artists Noemie Schipfer and Takami Nakamoto, a.k.a., Nonotak Studio, recently exhibited a new audiovisual light installation Convergence at Signal festival in Prague. Their work is often comprised of simple geometric light forms that aim to induce in the viewer a momentary disconnect from reality.The latest piece sees 48 LED bars placed in an industrial tunnel created from storage containers. Stuck together with the bars placed diagonally it creates an 18 meter long corridor of light art, a minimalist moving sculpture where an LED X radiates back and forth and plays with the viewers' sense of depth perception.

"We see it as a continuation of our series of experimentations using our custom LED tubes," the duo explains to The Creators Project. "When the audience get right in front of it they only see the X shaped elevation, but can see its deph through the reflections of the containers. When seeing it from the sides, they discover the whole perspective of it with the light travelling through it and figure out another dimension created by the spacing of each 'line.' The sound works with lot of subs making all the container elements vibrate, so they're actually part of the soundtrack. We are currently working on producing a longer version of it."Check out the piece in action below.
