Pii

PII is an electronic artwork that generates a luminous body whose dimensions expand beyond its physical boundaries. The piece appears as a grand geometry that outlines an infinite perspective—an anomaly in space that alters the atmosphere and places the viewer in a universe straight out of science fiction.

This sculpture was developed through electronic design, mirror arrangements, light matrices, and infrared sensors that analyze the environment to algorithmically generate a light and sound response. In doing so, it creates a variable artwork that interacts with both the public and the space. The piece explores the potential that emerges from the intersection between technological elements and visual systems, experimenting with the plasticity of light to simulate infinite spatial depth.

The work generates sound fields through a computational system based on samples, oscillators, and granular synthesis, processing new sounds in real time based on sensor readings. These sound fields are then analyzed to produce a luminous body—a spectral representation rendered by hundreds of ionized gas lamps.

Combining programming, electronic design, and digital fabrication processes, PII gives form to a piece that blurs the boundaries between sculpture and audiovisual forms within the realm of so-called new media. The work fosters a dialogue between art and the imaginaries born of our technological contemporaneity, while also building bridges to primitive elements—echoes of totemic structures and other sacred forms tied to geometry and light.
