Scienceworks is inviting people to challenge their sense of reality at a new exhibition merging science with art.
LightTime features works by 11 experimental artists, including Mitchell Nordine (pictured), who uses artificial intelligence software that responds to music with laser beams.
His 300-square-metre lattice, created with Josh Batty, has 10 holographic images floating above viewers’ heads.
Kit Webster has created an infinity room designed to make those who enter lose sense of where they are.
Skunk Control, a collective of engineers and scientists from Victoria University, has created an infinite field of glowing mechatronic flowers that changes the way light is viewed.
There is also a light-and-sound box from artist (((20hz))) that produces physical responses activated by hand motions.
Scienceworks manager Nurin Veis said LightTime was a new frontier for the museum.
“By merging science with art, we hope to unveil some of the fascinating intricacies of light, sound and optics and to show the connections between the beauty we experience and the science that enables it,” Dr Veis said.
