Vertical wave

VERTICAL WAVE

was a proposal for a permanent artwork in the main hall of a luxury yacht. The sculpture consists of 24 pipes that run through an opening between storeys. In the centre of each rod, there is a 10 x 10 mm CNC-milled slot where LEDs are inserted and covered with a diffuser to create continuous light curves. The overall installation wants to mediate a notion of sound waves moving vertically through the ship.

Dimensions: 0.5 x 0.5 x 6 meters. Diameter of pipes, 25 mm.
Material: aluminium (CNC-bending) and custom-made LED strip lights covered with fluid-to-solid diffuser material.
