Spectra

  • Ruby Wight

A data-driven kinetic sculpture mimicking the atmosphere-less quality of the lunar environment, the spherical identity was structured around the four quadrants of the moon’s surface, containing a swirling dot pattern mapping stratospheric movements. The metallic papers and air-tight envelope of the invitation referenced the gravity defying conditions. The installation was programmed to move in response to six years of meteoric impacts recorded on the surface of the moon by NASA.

Spectra featured in London Design Festival 2014 as part of Accept & Proceed's project space 43m3, and was produced in collaboration with FIELD.
