Materia Ondulatoria

2019

Light, that substance so common and at the same time so mysterious that fills the universe, is but a small visible fragment of the electromagnetic spectrum. It is made up of waves, as well as particles, these two qualities being complementary aspects of the same reality. And through this luminous energy, the beauty of the universe reaches the eyes of man.
— C. G. Mueller & M. Rudolph

Inspired by the quantum phenomenon of wave-particle duality, 'Materia Ondulatoria' is an audiovisual experience for fulldome in which different hidden layers of reality are explored. Making a journey through wave phenomena and the electromagnetic spectrum, through corpuscles and subatomic particles, until arriving at events that show the strange nature of matter that, at quantum levels, can take either of the two forms.

We made this piece together with Daniel Shambo thanks to the 2019 IDARTES and Plataforma's Beca de creación de videoarte para domo. We used Blender, Cinema4D, Touchdesigner, VSynth for Max and laser lissajous patterns recordings.

Sound design by Audioboost: Juan Andrés Aguilar aka Brain, Alvaro Fuentes y Juan Sebastián Vargas aka Sebass.
