The installation explores the urban life as a constant pursuit of the unattainable. We use light as our material, like painting a graffiti on a wall. Swirl moves with the crowd and paints the alley with live images of light.
Swirl was first presented as part of the Jerusalem Light Festival in one of the old city's alleys .
The installation senses the crowd and swirls as people pass it creating an interaction with human presence.
There were various challenges in the making of Swirl from designing its patternes, 3D printing various materials to investigate which one gave the most detailed light spreading and the motion mechanisms to detect human presence.
