Director, animator, and creative coding artist Ksawery Kirklewski in Gdańsk, Poland: “FLUX is an interactive light installation exhibited at the Lot 11 Skatepark during Miami Art Week, in December 2022.

“The work consists of two parts: an Interaction mode where viewers can fiddle with it through their gestures and voice, and a Performance mode which is based on footage sourced from the audience.

“FLUX is made with five kilometers of LED strips. We glued them together (manually!) to achieve two-sided strips, arranged in a 240 x 300-pixel circular screen, 15 x 15 meters on the ground and five meters at the top.

“We used a high-speed infrared camera and made sure the whole piece runs at a stable 100 FPS – thanks to custom drivers designed by Jakub Kirklewski and set by Marek Pepke it really gives an analog feeling.

“FLUX is a follow-up to my previous works (Enter 2021, Cellular Automata 2022, Enter 2022), focused on interaction and precise music synchronization, in low-fi, glitchy aesthetics.”
