The Aesthetics of Mechanical Advantage: ENESS’s "A Tilt of Light" Puts the ‘See’ in Seesaw
Posted in: Uncategorized
Art & design studio ENESS is back with another exploration of periodicity: where “MÖBIUS” was a “collaborative stop-motion sculpture” that was more a visual treat than an interactive installation, “A Tilt of Light” is fun for the whole family. It’s essentially a seesaw in which the midsection is segmented like a spine, such that each of the 33 ‘vertebrae’ lights up in sequence depending on the motion of the participants.
ENESS bring home a playful new work exploring worldly forces at play as you soar through the air. The Light Seesaw is equipped with a physics engine and thirty three rows of lights that respond to your swing.
Climb on and watch how a Pingpong ball might bounce on the moon, or how a balloon might wade through yogurt. Choose the atmosphere surrounding your object—air, water, space and even yogurt and observe the ball of light as it hurls your way.
