1000 Memories of Light

1000 Memories of Light (with candle), 2014
Candle, color sensor, Arduino microcontroller, addressable LED lights – dimensions: 17m x 5cm approx.

 

 

1000 Memories of Light explores the variations of a candle light in time showing the change in space.
The light characteristic of the candle is photographed using a color sensor that acts as a 1 pixel camera. The recorded image is reproduced using RGB LEDs. The Candle is sampled 60 times per second. Each time there is a new pixel-image the previous pixel-image is shifted up in the LED strip of 1000 pixels. The last 1000 variations of light are in such way memorised and visible at the same time in the different LED pixels distributed in space.
