Lumina pluria

Lumina Pluria explores the interplay between different light and sound sources, and the illusion of three-dimensional image. The Fluorescent RFI, a DIY light instrument, is used to control rapidly flickering light bulbs. These bulbs are placed in front of a screen that also has projections of flickering light. The combination of the two light sources creates an additional illusory dimension. As the flickering light sources interact with each other, colours, shapes and patterns seemingly emerge.

The light bulbs are also used to control the sound for the piece. The Found Noise Generator is an analogue DIY device designed to respond to light. Fluorescent light starters, used with the Fluorescent RFI, also interact through radio frequency interference with the Found Noise Generator. The sound is further explored through a Pure Data (PD) patch using generative/de-generative processes. The piece functions as a live performance with two performers sat apart facing each other emphasising the contrasting material of the work.

Lumina Pluria is a hybrid that explores the relationship between digital technology, physical spaces and objects, and questions how both digital image and sound sit alongside non-digital materials.
