Light Sculpture of FlamesInteractive installation by teamlab is a cubic array of lights which presents a volumetric representation of fire:This artwork uses accumulated light points to create a sculptural body,similar to the way distinct dots of color form an image in a pointillist painting. Since the sculpture is made of light, it can be controlled digitally and is interactive. Fire does not absorb mass; it is a phenomenon in which flammable substances and oxygen react, and radiating heat and light. The shape of a flame is formed by the aggregate of such light. Many people perceive fire,a phenomenon, as an thing, or sometimes feel a sense of life in fire. Light Sculpture of Flames belongs to a series of endeavors to convert a phenomenon into a sculptural thing using accumulated light particles. Most flames appear white at the middle and red towards the outside,creating an appearance of layered colors, an effect that cannot be expressed with a solid three-dimensional thing. This artwork, or with a flat painterly quality,seeks to express a layered flame in a sculptural form. From any angle, the sculpture appears as a solid thing of flames expressed in layers of colors. The artwork does not use pre-recorded imagery; it is continuously created in real-time by a computer program and is in a fixed process of transformation. Each moment is unique and never repeated.
