Spectrum Spirale XL is a light fountain that brings together organic and geometrical patterns into a meditative and contemplative yet hallucinatory installation.
A fountain of water and light is a perfect gateway between the past and the future. Fountains are already part of the legacy of classical art, in the other hands augmented realities and holograms are undeniable symbols of the future.
Spectrum Spirale positions right in the middle envisioning a future of digital but organic realities.
Through the illusionary phenomena of persistence of vision this work creates tridimensional Fermat’s spirals that appear as holographic rainbows.
Immersed by the holographic effect and colorful water droplets the public experience a surreal and futuristic experience while also being aware of the natural and organic elements.
The generative composition constantly create new patterns and combinations of colours and water droplets giving a feeling of constant surprise.
