Reuben Margolin - Pop!Tech 2009 - Camden, ME (via poptech)
Last week I posted a video of a mysterious box being carried into the Camden Opera House, but in the midst of the actual happenings of PopTech, I neglected reveal the secret. Inside the box was a wave, a kinetic sculpture built by Rueben Margolin that was installed and temporarily replaced the Opera House chandelier.
The piece itself did not light up per se, but when the house lights were dimmed and spots came up, the thousands of strung beads glowed. When set to motion, the wave rippled - slowly, deliberately, and with mesmerizing ease.
