ABSTRACT
Void is an interdisciplinary design studio working at the intersection between design, architecture, art and technology. The practice pursues experimental design that ranges from data visualization and scenography to interactive installations and architectures. C8 was a self-commissioned artwork created in 2015 as an exploration of light as the medium for playing with perception and dimensionality. It borrows its name from the Tesseract, typically visualized as the shadow of a four-dimensional cube projected into three-dimensional space, as well as from the cervical spinal nerve 8, which is responsible for the flexion of fingers in humans. The installation is always online, pulling content from local news-sources through their Facebook pages. The information is then coupled with the sentiments of users that interact with the content online, gauging “likes”, “wows” and “angrys” etc., and presented within the crystal as an endless tapestry of colored text and image fragments.
