DEEP WEB是一个巨大的沉浸式视听装置和现场表演,由光艺术家Christopher Bauder和作曲家兼音乐家Robert Henke创作。在巨大漆黑的室内空间中,DEEP WEB将观众带入一场彩虹动感光和环绕声的芭蕾舞剧。
这个发光的建筑结构将175个电动球体和12个高功率激光系统编织成一个宽25米、高10米的超级结构,将发光的节点和数字网络的连接带入生活。这些球体上下移动,与罗伯特·亨克(Robert Henke)原创的多声道音乐同步编排,由彩色激光束的爆炸照亮,在洞穴般的黑暗中形成三维雕塑般的光图和排列。
该装置汇集了两位艺术家数十年的独立研究和实验,他们对声音和光线有着独特的愿景和热情,以及在这些领域工作的创新公司。高端激光系统制造商LaserAnimation SOLLINGER为空间激光设置提供了技术专长和开发,而电机绞车系统和主要控制软件则由WHITEvoid和KINETIC LIGHTS开发。这种计算机控制的动力元件和激光系统的新颖组合允许设置动画端点到通常无限的激光束。DEEP WEB利用光作为一种有形的材料,在稀薄的空气中构建三维矢量图。
该作品最初是受2015年里昂灯节的委托,并与当地制片人Tetro+A合作开发的。由于在巴黎发生悲惨事件后,CTM音乐节被取消,柏林人在CTM 2016音乐节上获得了独一无二的机会,在该项目于2016年12月在里昂灯光节上展示之前,参加了CTM 2016音乐节的独家预览。
DEEP WEB is a monumental immersive audiovisual installation and live performance created by light artist Christopher Bauder and composer and musician Robert Henke. Presented in enormous pitch-dark indoor spaces, DEEP WEB plunges the audience into a ballet of iridescent kinetic light and surround sound.
The generative, luminous architectural structure weaves 175 motorized spheres and 12 high power laser systems into a 25-meter wide and 10-meter high super-structure, bringing to life a luminous analogy to the nodes and connections of digital networks. Moving up and down, and choreographed and synchronized to an original multi-channel musical score by Robert Henke, the spheres are illuminated by blasts of colorful laser beams resulting in three-dimensional sculptural light drawings and arrangements in cavernous darkness.
The installation brings together decades of separate research and experimentation by two artists with unique visions and passions for sound and light, and by innovative companies working in these fields. High-end laser system manufacturer LaserAnimation SOLLINGER provided the technical expertise and development for spatial laser setup, while the motor winch systems and main control software are developed by WHITEvoid and KINETIC LIGHTS. This novel combination of computer controlled kinetic elements and laser systems allows for setting animated end points to normally infinite laser beams. DEEP WEB uses light as a tangible material to construct three-dimensional vector drawings in thin air.
The work was originally commissioned by the Festival of Lights Lyon 2015, and developed in cooperation with local producer Tetro+A. Due to the festival’s cancellation after the tragic events in Paris, Berliners had the unique chance to attend an exclusive preview during CTM 2016 Festival before the project was presented in December 2016 at the Festival of Lights Lyon.
