TETRO+A and whitevoid's deep web installation is a kinetic laser sculpture

TETRO+A and whitevoid present ‘deep web’, a monumental kinetic laser installation designed by berliner christopher bauder of whitevoid and the composer and musician robert henke. the generative, luminous architectural structure weaves 175 motorized spheres and 12 high power laser systems into a 25-meter wide and 10 meter high super-structure, bringing to life a luminous analogy to the nodes and connections of digital networks.

moving up and down, and choreographed and synchronized to an original multi-channel musical score by robert henke, the spheres are illuminated by blasts of colourful laser beams resulting in three-dimensional sculptural light drawings and arrangements in cavernous darkness. the installation was presented at the CTM festival in berlin and the festival of lights of lyon in france in 2016 by TETRO+A and whitevoid, in enormous pitch-dark indoor space which plunged the audience into a ballet of iridescent kinetic light and surround sound. the lights were used as a tangible material to construct three dimensional vector drawings in thin air, providing a futuristic cinematic experience for festival-goers to enjoy.
