when robots compose poetry: tetro presents new kinetic sculpture created by collectif scale

‘flux’ is a new light installation designed by collectif scale, which evolves smoothly as music plays. the kinetic project is composed of multiple lines of dynamic light, which twist and turn to form a ‘living’ robotic sculpture. tetro has presented the project at the constellations festival, an international digital art rendezvous, which will be live until the 4th of september 2021 in the city of metz, france.

conceived by collectif scale, ‘flux’ is a kinetic light installation that progresses in real-time. describing complex twists, the object composed of 48 lines of dynamic light evolves smoothly with the music. the formal multiplication of these lines coupled with micro variations of phase, temporal delay, speed and amplitude, allows the sculpting of a living object navigating between poetic states or frenetic rotation rhythms.

with ‘flux’, collectif scale continues to explore new fields of artistic intervention. in its previous works, scale has regularly confronted organic, naturalistic, primary architectural structures with new technologies and dynamic light. after taming light as a primary medium, the collective explores the world of movement, kinetics, and robotics.
