RayLights
This dynamic artwork produces ever-changing, mandala-like light patterns that are synchronized to ambient sounds. The fluctuating, animated light rays range from intense spectral colors to subtle pastels. A sequence of patterns repeats, but when you make sound—talk, sing, clap—the preprogrammed patterns are interrupted as the lights respond with non-repeating, complex variations of the colors and patterns.
