SCIART COLAB

「The Spectrum of Transparency」

Spectrum of Transparency is a hand-cranked 
interactive installation that utilizes the diffraction 
of light on transparent material to create a fluid 
and ever-changing grayscale. Through rhythmic 
hand movements, the installation captures a 
sequence of orderly grayscale variations.

Within transparency lies a hidden wealth of infinite 
spectra, defying our common understanding 
of transparent objects. As viewers experience 
the emergence of grayscale from nothingness, 
their cognition and imagination are reignited, 
prompting them to reflect on the limitations of 
human vision.
Just as Hiroshi Sugimoto conveys in The Origin of 
Art, science assigns names and definitions to the 
multitude of phenomena in the world, dividing 
them into clear-cut dichotomies of black and 
white. However, art exists within the crevices of 
things, where one can truly grasp the essence of 
the world's existence.
