Electronic Art: Cambodian Tree Projections

Cambodian Tree Projections by Clément Briend

“Cambodian culture is deeply rooted in a spirituality - marked by a belief in genii and fantasy creatures. In a dark cityscape, night reveals the presence of divine creatures on trees and subsequently makes them alive and real. Such nocturnal visions allow us to grasp the way magic profoundly influences how Cambodian people perceive the world.”

Installation: sub|version

"sub|version" by Brisbane design firm The Buchan Group

This ghostly figure could be seen haunting the waters during Vivid Sydney 2012. But it's no supernatural apparition.  The ghost is, in actuality, a subaquatic light sculpture created with projection mapping, corrected for viewing near the northern Overseas Passenger Terminal tower.

"The piece is an innovative mapped water projection, and can be seen near the northern Overseas Passenger Terminal tower. The installation extends the virtual performance into the waters of the Quay itself and features elements usually found only on land, including high-contrast people and scenes submerged in symmetry with the spectators. A spotlight reveals forms, figures and patterns hidden in the depths."

Video: LumiBots

LumiBots by Mey Lean Kronemann 

LumiBots are small, autonomous robots equipped an LED that leaves a glowing trail of phosphorescence in their wake. The robots are also equipped with light sensors that enable them to follow each other, amplifying the light trail and drawing more robots, ant-like after.

Photography: Light Skeletons

Straight out of camera

This series of skeletons from San Diego-based photographer Darren Pearson were created entirely using in-camera lighting effects.

Photography: Roomba Art

IBR Roomba Swarm in the Dark IV by IBRoomba

This light painting photograph was created by a group of students over at the IBR Algorithm Group and Braunschweig University of Technology in Germany using a swarm of seven Roomba automated vacuum cleaners. Each one had a different colored LED light attached to the top, making the resulting photo look like some kind of robotic Jackson Pollock painting.  The IBRoomba photostream documents the entire process.

I thought that the results were unique, but there’s actually an entire Flickr group dedicated to using Roombas for light painting. You can see some of the best of those photos in the gallery below.
