Fin Sin Fin
Lightart | 2019
Fin Sin Fin means “end without an end” in Spanish. This installation is an illuminated 3D puzzle sculpture, composed of uniform, oval aluminium composite panels assembled together with a plug-in system.
During the day, the installation’s light source is being powered by the Sunlight’s UV radiation, which makes the panels printed with phosphorescent and fluorescent colour, glow in the dark. During the night, the panels are also lit with artificial UV light, which brings an overall purple hue. The illuminated, rising structure evokes a sense of wonder.
Fin Sin Fin is a sustainable and adaptable installation. Due to the mechanism of each piece interchangeably fitting into each other, it could rise infinitely – hence its name – or even grow in a multitude of other directions. The possibilities of assembly are pretty much infinite, as long as the structure remains at a 90 degree angle.
Fin Sin Fin was also presented as part of an interactive laser-painting performance, during which the viewers were offered laser pens to paint directly on the installation.
Technique
Fluorescent & phosphorescent screen printing on milled aluminium sandwich panels & ultraviolet light; Each element 59 x 45 x 0.5 cm; Installation: Variable
Sustainable Development
The materials used are made of advanced sandwich composites that reduce material dimensions many times over, save additional materials, reduce weight and freight costs, and are recyclable.
Renewable energy (optional upgrade)
By adding several oval solar panel elements to the installation, self-sufficient power generation can also be made possible as an optional upgrade.
