Reuben Wu – Glowing Geometric Light Paintings
www.thisiscolossal.com/2021/04/reuben-wu-ex-stasis/
Wu programmed a stick of 200 LED lights to shift in color and shape above the calm landscapes. He captured the mesmerizing movements in-camera, and through a combination of stills, timelapse, and real-time footage, produced four audiovisual works that juxtapose the natural scenery with the artificially produced light and electronic sounds.
