thin lines - magic effect
How thin is the line between recognizing spatial structures, optical transformation, and connection in between? How can we draw in space, only using the thinnest string and UVÂ emitting light to make it visible in the dark?Â
@iddp-carina and I were fascinated by the UV light effect. Usually, humans can’t see ultraviolet light. But if (UV/black-) light shines on textiles f.ex. which contain phosphor, it will ‘glow’ in the dark. However, we never expected that the ultrathin thread we chose would form such a powerful line of light.Â
We wove the thread back and forth the black textile back walls, someone in the front, someone behind the walls - true teamwork. We chose to ‘draw’ in an exact, geometric way. To add layer by layer changed the spatial perception every time.Â
A fascinating process and I didn’t get tired of looking at the stairs or stand in the middle aisle which seemed to disappear in the dark. Weird how our brain imagines a surface within slim outlines (window or steps). For me it was exciting to experiment with unusual light sources in a bigger dimension.
