《Occurrence of Light | Calgary》(光的出现 | 卡尔加里)受到极光的启发,这种色彩斑斓的自然现象在夜空中闪烁。作品既是一件静态雕塑,又是一个充满流动意象的动态构图。
视频影像采用了经过计算机处理的水中光折射,与该地区的地磁活动的实时数据相连。这些数据影响着视频的速度和色彩调色板。
这些数据由Aurorawatch服务和CARISMA磁力计网络提供,两者都是由艾伯塔大学的空间物理学小组运营。CARISMA是“地球空间观测台”项目的一部分,该项目由加拿大航天局资助。

Inspired by the aurora borealis, the phenomena of colored lights shimmering across the night sky, Occurrence of Light mimics the cosmic event. At once a static sculpture and a dynamic composition, the piece is enlivened with compressed rhythms of fluid imagery.
The video imagery — computer manipulated light refractions in water — is connected to live streaming data of the region’s geomagnetic activity, which influences the speed and color palette of the video.
The data is provided by the Aurorawatch service and the CARISMA magnetometer network, both of which are operated by the Space Physics group at the University of Alberta. CARISMA is part of the
“Geospace Observatory” program funded by the Canadian Space Agency.
