Glimpse, We the Light
A generative light art sculpture that emulates an ever-changing starscape, capturing the essence of the universe's cosmic beauty.
GLIMPSE, WE THE LIGHT
Glimpse, We the Light is a generative video sculpture that captures the endless pulse of the cosmos—a shimmering starscape in constant transformation. Derived from recordings of I the Light sculpture, the piece reflects the universe’s perpetual cycle of creation and dissolution, where light embodies both memory and fleeting moments.
Blending sculptural and digital elements, the video combines optical lenses and screens to create a holographic illusion—stars appear to drift beyond the surface, shimmering and sparkling as if floating weightlessly in space. This interplay of light and optics creates a sense of depth and texture, with stars blooming, fading, and coalescing in an ever-changing celestial rhythm.
Background
The generative and interactive sculpture I the Light is crafted using a combination of etched mirrors and lights enclosed in a metal frame. Designed to emulate an intricate and perpetually shifting night sky, it remains in constant flux. Like the cosmos, the starscape never repeats itself—stars emerge, grow, fade, collide, and expand in an endless transformation cycle. When viewers interact with the sculpture, their presence is captured and stored as part of the evolving starscape, embedding their essence into this luminous memory field—a personal portal into a universe written in Light.
