The Strauch Hypercube lets there be light in the Grimes Engineering Center
The Strauch Hypercube is a dynamic light installation at UC Berkeley's Grimes Engineering Center. It features a voxel structure made of suspended LED strands that create an infinite supply of visual patterns. The artwork is designed to engage with mathematical concepts and is powered by algorithms that generate animations based on scientific principles.
- ▪The Strauch Hypercube was installed in the Grimes Engineering Center and was celebrated at a Dean's Society event.
- ▪The installation features a generative design that allows it to create unique visual patterns continuously.
- ▪The artwork is built using TouchDesigner, enabling it to behave like a living system with dynamic interactions of logic, data, and light.
