Columba at ILLUSION

The art and science of illusion: Made of optic fibres, Columba by Roseline de Thelin (FR) combines the use of digital technology with craftsmanship. COLUMBA was initially created digitally as a three-dimensional mapping and then carved by hand into thousands of light points across hundreds of optic fibers. The empty space between the points of light create a 'loose definition effect' that pushes the viewer to fill in the gaps similar to the 'persistence of vision' process. The viewer participates with the work and co-creates the three-dimensional image of the figure. This unconscious act generates the sensation of discovery.
