Crosshatch

Crosshatch is an interactive light installation that combines kinetic elements with participatory lighting experiences. It invites visitors to engage with the artwork by using two handles to pivot and rotate circular slats, altering the light, shadows, and patterns projected by the installation. This direct interaction allows visitors to see the tangible impact of their actions on their environment, encouraging experimentation and reflection on how individual and collective actions shape space. The dual handles promote cooperative engagement, fostering shared experiences and conversations about our relationship with light, technology, and the environment. As you interact with Crosshatch, how do your actions shape the space around you and influence the experience of others?
