New Jersey artist Joshua Kirsch has just completed work on his latest mesmerizingly futuristic interactive sculpture, Concentricity 96, which was recently on exhibit at the Grand Rapids Art Prize. The device features a glowing handle that can be manipulated in any direction to create a personal, close-quarters light show. Reed switches in
the sculpture’s circuitry are activated by the magnetized handle's motion, translating its
movement into a dance of light generated by an array of nearly a hundred LED lights. Kirsch estimates he’s spent nearly 800 hours on the piece over the course of the past
four years,
machining most of the sculpture's aluminum and steel components by hand.
