concentricity is an interactive light sculpture series by joshua kirsch. consisting of three individual pieces – concentricity 96, 80, 16 – each one presents an illuminated white LED handle in which a viewer is invited to move in any desired direction. reed switches located within the sculpture’s circuitry sense the movements of a magnet that is contained in each of the sculpture’s handles, translating this information into the form of LED light.
concentricity 96 utilizes 96 white LEDs whose light floods through the sculpture’s honeycomb-like aluminum frame, casting a range of shapes and patterns on the wall. moving the illuminated white handles to generate light from the 96 LEDs image courtesy of john minchillo. detail of the honeycomb-like frame
