Cyma {Fos}

Cyma {Fos} (from Greek: κῦμα, meaning “wave” and φως meaning “light”) is a real time data driven kinetic light and sound sculpture highly inspired by natural repeatability and wave movement. An array of light acrylic bars is hanged from the ceiling and reaches the floor. The bottom bar is rotating periodically and sets the whole sculpture in motion, creating a wave that physically spreads from one bar to the other. Real time data of the solar wind are defining the motion of the wave. This invisible wind is moving the sculpture in the natural fundamental frequency and in higher harmonics in a hypnotic and mesmerizing way. At the same time an audioscape is creating by 58 sin audio oscillators, each for every light bar, with different frequencies.
