Vectors of Light

Vectors of Light

Effenaar

Vectors of Light by Antti Kulmala is a fascinating light artwork that mirrors the constant movement of people in a city. Just like the flows of people in a bustling urban center sometimes intersect and at other times remain untouched, Vectors of Light creates a play of light where paths converge or stay apart. This light installation fits perfectly within the theme of GLOW 2024, The Stream.

Using motors, pulleys, and light, a fluid network of geometric shapes and light beams is formed. What makes Vectors of Light unique is that it never takes the same shape twice. It is a living, ever-changing part of its environment, much like the continuous motion and transformation of people in a city. The inspiration for Vectors of Light comes from the unpredictable and random dynamics of human movement. Antti Kulmala wanted to make these hidden, often unnoticed patterns visible. The result is an installation that shows how small, individual movements collectively form larger networks and patterns.

Vectors of Light invites you to reflect on your hidden routes, walking paths, and connections that you navigate daily in shared spaces.
