Lumino-Kinetic Art
f5x5x5 is one of the newest installments by Brussels-based Laboratory for Architecture and Urbanism, LAb[au]. f5x5x5 consists of 375 aluminum frames, glowing and rotating as the environment around it changes. The sculpture moves according to electromagnetic, infra-red, kinetic, luminous, and spacial changes that are measured by uniquely programmed ‘lumino-kinetic’ devices. The exhibition resides in Saint-Denis Basilique, Paris.
“The f5x5x5 sculpture is a kinetic and luminous framework conceived and realised by LAb[au]. In software development, a framework is a methodological tool based on re-usable chunks of code, code libraries or other software pieces to assist, to develop and to glue together the different components of a software project. In regards to the f5x5x… installation the term ‘framework‘ refers to the installation’s constituting elements, a raster of fix and kinetic aluminum frames.”
“Further ‘framework‘ refers to the multiple operating modes of the installation, from a low resolution display to a generative and interactive sculpture. Consequently the term ‘framework‘ can be understood as a way to manage conceptually and technically the sculpture’s sequential operating modes and the rules by which they switch from one mode to another.”
