Appreciation towards WhiteVOID for providing the following description:

2013年的4月9日到14日，这个由柏林工作室WhiteVOID完成的流光雕塑为米兰设计周带来了不一样的艺术体验。这个雕塑是高功率的激光投影机投射在一个水池上方，有12000个半透明圆球组成的圆云上，并能与观众互动。

„FLUIDIC – Sculpture In Motion“

A vivid organic art experience April 9, 2013, Berlin – Between April 9 and 14, 2013 the art installation „FLUIDIC – Sculpture In Motion“ is being displayed in the Temporary Museum for New Design in Milan. The installation was designed and produced by Berlin based design studio WHITEvoid for Hyundai’s Advanced Design Center. Combining high-power laser projectors, a dynamic point cloud and the interactions of its viewers the WHITEvoid brought the design philosophy of Hyundai to life and transformed it into a vivid organic art experience.

从自然中吸取灵感，将自然的节奏，流动，形态，变化表现在这个充满活力的流光雕塑之上，从一个球到许多球，这些球就像分子一样，聚集并相互作用，形成美丽的景象。这种看似随意的流光实际上由复杂算法的计算机技术在背后支持。技术控制光，让球亮或者暗，同时做到了从球体各个方向看无死角，满足从任何角度看过来的观众的视觉享受。

3D摄影机跟踪观众的行为，将其反映到计算机系统中，系统对人的行为追踪，在控制光对人的行为作出反应，形成互动。这是一项完美的技术与艺术合奏。

Nature is to be seen as a source of inspiration, including the dynamics of ebb and flow of life, its instinctive natural rhythms and the ability to adapt and evolve. FLUIDIC transforms this idea into a vibrant art experience: with a liquid surface transmuting into vapor, seemingly random molecules forming an organized cloud and sensing the presence of life around the arrangement. Shaped by human interactions, the molecules begin to swarm – aggregating and accumulating. They are constantly in motion, reacting and adapting with the people who seek to engage with the installation.

Technology at its highest level for a natural impression

A seemingly floating point cloud above a water pond and consisting of 12,000 translucent spheres marks the heart of the installation. Due to a complex computer algorithm the spheres are arranged seemingly random within the cloud. At the same time the algorithm observes the positions and projection angles of eight high-speed laser projectors that are being arranged around the artwork. They are sending out beams scanning through the arrangement of the cloud. Generating bright and dim light points, this creates a highly organic and natural distribution of voxels (3D pixels). Emerging lines and shapes finally form graphical compositions without any sweet or blind spots. Keeping the same density and intensity the FLUIDIC graphics enables their viewers to observe and interact with it from every point of view.

Furthermore the installation comes with multiple 3D camera tracking systems that are able to analyze the presence of the visitors, their positions and posture. All joints of the human body are recognized and tracked by the systems constantly. This enables precise three-dimensional interactions with the graphics and elements of the cloud.

Christopher Bauder, founder of the design studio WHITEvoid, considers the project as a perfect symbiosis of futuristic technology, aesthetic art and involving the observers. “It’s not only the physical 3D display, but also the organic aspect the visitors create just due to their mere presence, that makes the FLUIDIC project a very unique art experience”, Bauder says.

WHITEvoid’s main focus is to transfer bits and bytes into real space and the other wayaround. With this, Bauder and his team virtuously combine art, design and technologyin their projects. The studio develops interactive installations but also products formuseums, exhibitions, festivals and concerts. Many projects have been awarded withinternationally renowned prizes, among others the reddot design award, iFcommunication Design Award or the International Media Architecture Award.
