Entry DescriptionThe transmedia sculpture Audire Fluctus is a work of art that straddles the line between a light object and an interactive work in the form of a data totem. It monitors the technological activity of its surroundings and visualizes the electromagnetic radiation generated by the electrical grid, communication devices and electrically powered equipment. Audire Fluctus visualizes this activity using a medium called Spectraflux, which, thanks to its anisotropic structure, can change the refractive index of light, thus creating a unique color and dynamic texture. Kryštof Br?ha developed Spektraflux with the aim of creating a physical medium that enables visual work that transcends the limits of digital media.
Sustainability ApproachThe installation was created as part of an open call, which we have been carrying out for several years now with Josef Pr?ša's prototype technology workshop and company PrusaLab. The open call aims to support young Czech and Slovak emerging artists and also to make the resulting installations easier to transport, as they are then offered to various festivals or events through the Signal Festival agency - Signal Creative, and other activities of PrusaLab. Through this joint initiation, we ensure the installations' long-term use. At the same time, the installations are mostly developed in different formats so that, for example, only parts of them can be used. In the case of the Audire Fluctus installation, it is precisely the individual modules that make up the overall object and can be presented and installed separately.
