ABOUT

Cascade, a seductive light-based installation, is composed of an array of vertically suspended LED tubes. The art can be free standing or suspended from above, depending on the installation site.


Each tube is intricately programmed with a custom light score that generates dynamic colored patterns, creating a mesmerizing visual effect across the sculpture.  


The coordinated pulses and shifts of light breathe life into the entire structure, giving it an almost animated quality. Depending on the viewer’s angle, the gentle glow can resemble the fluid motion of ocean waves or the ethereal flicker of fireflies, providing a distinctive and immersive experience that evolves as one moves around the installation. This interplay of light and motion transforms the surrounding environment, inviting spectators to lose themselves in its rhythmic dance.


Cascade is a Luminous Waveforms project created by myself and Victoria Mara Heilweil
