Data to Light

Invisible data infrastructures are translated into a spatial system of light.

Data to LightData to Light

Data to Light transforms abstract data structures into a walkable spatial experience. The work asks how invisible infrastructures can become perceptible as rhythm, line, orientation and atmosphere.

Light becomes a medium between information and body. Data is not illustrated but spatialized, giving visitors a physical relation to otherwise hidden systems.

The project extends the line-based logic of Beauty of Privacy into architecture and public movement.

Derivations / Light Objects

The light objects are derivations from the project Data to Light. They translate the spatial lines and data structures of the installation into compact luminous objects and also refer to the light drawings.
