In the context of Le Voyage à Nantes, Stereolux presents PARTICLES / Daito MANABE & Motoi ISHIBASHI This is an art installation which is able to create a visionary beautiful dots pattern of blinking innumerable illuminations floating in all directions on the air. The number of balls with a built-in LED, pass through one after another on the rail "8-spiral shape." We see this phenomenon like "the light particle float around" because the balls radiate in various timing. The position of each ball is determined via total of 17 control points on the rail. Every time a ball passes through one of them, the respective ball's positional information is transmitted via a built-in infrared sensor. During the time the ball travels between one control points to the next, this position is calculated based on its average speed. The data for regulating the balls' luminescence are divided by the control point segments and are switched every time a ball passes on a control point.
