Technical Description

Two surface transducers emitting low-frequency sine waves are mounted on the upper horizontal arms of a wooden framework. Small mirrors are attached to the ends of these arms to reflect laser beams onto a surface. Vibrations from the transducers cause the mirrors to oscillate, deflecting the laser light to produce undulating pink light patterns on the floor.

A vertical framework of unfinished wooden beams supports the transducers, mirrors, and electronic components. The structure includes a curved wooden strip spanning the upper section and various horizontal cross-members. The system translates mechanical vibrations from the transducers into kinetic light projections.
