kinetic light sculptures

Paul Friedlander sólo puede ser definido como un escultor cinético de la luz.
Criado en Cambridge en un entorno lleno de estudios de la relatividad, agujeros negro, cosmólogo aspirantes y expertos en propulsión interestelar. Allí sufre una metamorfosis hacia el arte como diseñador de iluminación y escultor científico de la luz.
Primer grado en física y matemáticas de la Universidad de Sussex, su tutor personal, Anthony Leggett, recibió posteriormente el Premio Nobel por su trabajo sobre la superfluidez.
En 1995 resulta ganador del premio del prestigioso ARTEC, líder japonés en muestra de arte hitech.
En 1998 recibió el Premio de los Estados Unidos USHIO para la Innovación.
Ganador del LIGHTFORMS 98 en Nueva York.
En 2003, ganador del premio de Organización arte cinético.
En 2004, ganador del premio de Organización arte cinético.
Ha expuesto en 3 continentes y 12 países.

British artist, physicist, and all-around science enthusiast Paul Friedlander produces kinetic light sculptures that provide a colorful feast for the eyes. Each piece in his body of work offers a visual medley of light and motion by rapidly rotating a piece of string through white light. The vibrating rope becomes invisible to the human eye, but colors from the light (which would normally be invisible to the naked eye) are revealed in rapid succession.

The scientific artist gives insight into the history of his career shift into the arts and explains the science in it all: “I decided to focus on kinetic art: a subject in which I could bring together my divided background and combine my knowledge of physics with my love of light. In 1983, at London’s ICA, I exhibited the first sculptures to use chromastrobic light, a discovery I had made the previous year. Chromastrobic light changes color faster than the eye can see, causing the appearance of rapidly moving forms to mutate in the most remarkable ways.”
