Sensory experience and transformation of the environment

Vortex is a series of installations.

Solar archi-sculptures that do not simply capture light, but use it as a catalyst for luminous and magnetic energy, giving rise to sensory art installations and interactive installations, where each element interacts with the viewer's body and senses.

These metal structures, both translucent and mirror-like, act as points of convergence between matter and immateriality, amplifying the surrounding light and creating an ever-changing atmosphere.

From solar energy to an immersive artistic experience

Far from simply fulfilling a utilitarian function like traditional solar panels, the ‘Vortex’ transforms solar energy into a vibrant and sensitive material, creating unique sensory experiences. They subvert the classic notion of energy capture by creating a sensory artistic environment where light, reflections and the body interact. These interactive and reactive installations actively engage the viewer in a constant dialogue with the work. These archi-sculptures incorporate elements that evolve according to external conditions, making each experience unique for the viewer.

A continuous dialogue between the artwork and the viewer

Echoing the work of Olafur Eliasson, where light becomes a substance that transforms the environment and human experience, Vortex invites viewers to immerse themselves completely in an interactive installation that redefines sensory perception. These installations are designed to alter perception and state of consciousness, immersing the observer in a state of continuous interaction with the artwork, whose magnetic energy and light create a perceptive dialogue that transcends the boundaries between space, time and the body.

An immersive architecture in constant flux

The result is an immersive architecture, where light and energy do not merely fill the space, but become active agents in the sensory experience. The viewer, enveloped in this magnetic atmosphere, becomes an integral part of the work, participating in a sensory experience that, thanks to technology and the poetry of light, is constantly reinventing itself.

Integrated, solar-powered sensors allow the viewer to interact with the installation: as they approach, the light changes colour, enhancing the immersive effect.

Vertical Vortex: Taking the form of a slender vertical spiral, this artistic structure captures light and uses it as a catalyst for luminous and magnetic energy, giving rise to an immersive sensory installation. Its dynamic elevation invites viewers to look up, following the upward movement of light as it circulates through its translucent, shimmering surfaces. Small vibrations or changes in temperature create a tactile experience, adding an extra sensory dimension.

Vortex Dome: Designed in the form of a domed spiral reminiscent of a snail shell, this enveloping work captures and diffuses light in a fluid manner, creating an intimate sensory space where reflections and shadows intermingle in a perpetual interplay. Its circular, organic movement invites an immersive experience, where matter and immateriality merge to the rhythm of the surrounding light. The dome's walls are equipped with touch sensors that react to touch, triggering variations in light intensity and sound. The texture of the materials changes depending on the interaction, offering visitors total immersion where every gesture alters the atmosphere.

Kaleidoscope of the Sky: located outdoors, in a courtyard or garden, this circular interactive installation spans 5 metres in diameter and rises to a height of 0.90 metres. Its metal base rests directly on the ground, creating a sleek, minimalist structure. Designed to hold a set of mirrors arranged in a specific way, it supports around 300 mirrors, each of which can be rotated and adjusted differently.

Like a solar collector with multiple facets, this device reflects fragments of the sky, creating a play of light that changes throughout the day and night.

Seen from a distance, the installation, airy and graphic, evokes pieces of clouds seeming to float on the surface of the ground. The ever-changing reflections transform the space into a moving scene where the viewer becomes both an observer and an integral part of the landscape.

Upon crossing the threshold of the installation, visitors enter this illusion and see their image fragment and reverberate infinitely against these sky backgrounds. Rather than a frontal, unified vision, their reflection appears fragmented, horizontal, multiplied into a multitude of facets, thus removing any egocentric perception.

The space becomes fluid, moving, inviting wandering and contemplation. The loss of reference points is reinforced as the viewpoints shift and the reflections invert the perception of the ground and the sky, abolishing the boundaries between matter and immateriality.
