TOWER from NEON GOLDEN

 

Here, in the darkness of the evening, the light uses the geometric structure as its playground, flitting across surfaces, dancing around a tower, building it up and making it disappear again. The “Tower” installation is based on nine cubes that can be arranged in different compositions and grow upwards – in the truest sense of the word – as a lighthouse at Klanglicht 2021. The edges of the cubes are fitted with 108 LED tubes that dynamically illuminate the sculpture. The eight-channel sound that surrounds the sculpture was specially composed and is a score of “overtones”. An overtone is any frequency that is greater than the fundamental frequency of a tone. In the interplay of light and sound, of construction and deconstruction, the “Tower” project becomes a spatial experience characterized by ascent and elevation, elimination and depression.
