STELLA

multimedia artifact,
which integrates sound and LED systems with a set of sensors
that read the movements of people around it.


"Perception of the beautiful is possible only if there is an ability to perceive it"

Pavel Florensky



SONIC SCULPTURE:STELLA

Vertical LED rod of two meters high, made of acrylic material with a light-scattering coating. The base, in the form of a mirror disk made of polished metal, has an interactive system with motion sensors and a high-quality acoustic system BOSE Soundlink II.

Depending on the activity of the audience, the sculpture reproduces a unique sound scale and color palette.

In other words: viewers of the exposition and their activity near the artifact control the audio-visual space of the sculpture, plunging into the process of interaction with the object and creating a collective and whole musical composition.

STELLA is developed within the framework of the Art Residency on the basis of the Institute of Art & Science of ITMO University.
