Lightwave

The Dance of Duality
Audiovisual laser installation

LightWave is a site-specific outdoor laser installation by 1024 architecture that transforms the landscape into a living field of light and rhythm. Installed in open natural settings, the work invites viewers into a contemplative experience where art, science, and environment converge.

Drawing on the dual nature of light—as both wave and particle—LightWave uses calibrated laser points to create slow, undulating movements across an array of vertical wooden poles. These minimalist structures, reminiscent of forest trunks or Venetian “paline,” serve as a spatial grid that channels ephemeral pulses of light. As the beams shift and sweep, they generate a quiet choreography of illumination, evoking the invisible mechanics of quantum physics.

Far from a static installation, LightWave offers a temporal and spatial experience that evolves with each viewing. The piece explores the intersection of digital media and organic materiality, using light as a medium to express balance, motion, and impermanence. It is a meditative landscape, engineered to resonate with the rhythms of the environment and the introspection of those who enter it.

Combining laser technology, minimal architecture, and scientific metaphor, LightWave redefines how we perceive space, matter, and energy in the context of contemporary public art.
