Sota Ichikawa programmed a computer to precisely position the 12,000 strings and control the laser’s movement. The result is a seemingly random light pattern illuminating the “individual” strings so they CO-exist in the light yet cast no shadows.
Each hanging vertical string is simultaneously illuminated by a single light source and yet not one is in the shadows; a representation that each individual perspective is its own center. Through the use of technology and innovative design thinking, the seemingly impossible is achieved.
