THE HELIX

The Helix is a large-scale kinetic light and sound installation, at the centre of which is a towering rotating helix of mirrors suspended in a hazed space and illuminated by a series of projectors. The projected light reflects off the mirrored surfaces, casting a prismatic kaleidoscope of beams into the haze and creating an infinite vortex of geometric patterns.

Both multidimensional and multisensory, the installation is a fusion of form, light and sound, with rhythm and melody synchronised to the geometrical light patterns. The rich visual and aural crescendos rise and fall in unison with the changing rotational speed of the sculpture and variations in the configuration of the patterning within the haze, further indicating the mathematical principles underpinning the work.

The form of the soaring sculpture is reminiscent of the double-helix structure of DNA, a fundamental shape in humans and the building block of life itself. This foundational design element is appropriate, as the work has evolved beyond an art installation into a meditation on infinite multiverses that make up the universe.

Experiencing The Helix transcends the boundaries of base reality, as viewers are encouraged to release their perceptions of time and space and surrender to a symphony of audio-visual phenomena. By becoming immersed in this meta-dimensional realm, one can contemplate the beauty of the continuity of life and be transported to a world where art and science converge and where the infinite potential of the imagination can be explored.
