Tycho

Lacuna Lab : Activation
Spektrum, Berlin

in collaboration with Thomas Heidtmann and Jemma Woolmore

Tycho is an interactive object that mimics the shape and behaviour of the James Webb Space Telescope by capturing light with a sensor and transmitting its colour via LEDs to a mirrored hexagonal surface, where it modulates a projection sequence inspired by images of the birth and death of stars.

By creating a cycle of sensory input and output, the line between the observer and the observed blurs, and a question emerges: who is the true viewer?
