Resonance Matrix
Resonance Matrix is a dynamic lighting and laser installation that explores themes of infinity, connectivity, and human introspection. Designed for the Flatiron 2024 Winter Glow art installation, the project immerses visitors in a 360-degree mirrored lattice of light, symbolizing the boundless network of human interaction.
We worked on transforming the conceptual vision into a fully realized structure, balancing visual impact with practicality. The modular, prefabricated design allows the piece to travel and inspire audiences in new locations, expanding its message of unity and reflection.
Visuals / Architecture
Creating Resonance Matrix demanded a precise architectural approach to seamlessly integrate mirrors, lighting, and spatial composition, ensuring the structure would consistently evoke its intended visual depth and interactive experience.
Exterior Design
The exterior of Resonance Matrix is made of infinity mirrors. An Infinity mirror is a configuration of two or more parallel mirrors, with a programmable LED strip in between, arranged to create a series of smaller and smaller reflections that appear to recede to infinity.
Immersive Interiors
The 576-square-foot interior features mirrored surfaces and a walkable mirrored floor, creating an endless lattice of light. Fifteen RGB lasers interact with motion sensors, dynamically changing color with each visitor's movement, ensuring a unique and immersive experience.
Infinity Matrix
Enveloping visitors in a mirrored environment, with reflective walls, floor, and ceiling that create an endless interplay of reflections. The lasers traverse this mirrored matrix, bouncing infinitely between surfaces and creating the illusion of a boundless lattice of light. As each beam is interrupted and altered by motion sensors, the space transforms dynamically.
Mobility & Mounting
To support the portability of the installation, we developed a modular architectural system that allows the mirrors to be mounted and dismantled quickly and efficiently, ensuring easy transport and reassembly for future exhibitions. This adaptable structure integrates seamlessly with the visuals.
