PHOTONIC SCRIBBLES

Photonic Scribbles was designed as a participatory light painting installation at the Künstlerhaus Nürnberg for Blaue Nacht 2022, in collaboration with Stefan Eichbauer (spasskoffer.de). For this, we used our self-developed system fluxusLP.

The audience projects live images onto canvases using glowing props, resembling long-exposure photographs. The images are so ephemeral, and the threshold for participation is so low, that people almost instantly begin to paint, move, and dance. Despite being in a public space, there is little hesitation in joining, "standing on stage," and interacting with other participants.
