LOOM

LOOM is an expansive light and sound installation for an exhibition hall at the TextilWerk Bocholt. Phosphorescent threads shoot by UV-Lasers are storing information as light and transform a loom into a never ending weaving machine of algorithmic patterns and sounds. A kinetic system spins them into a network of data, where each luminous point in space defines the location of a virtual particle.
