Vibrascopic

'Vibrascopic' is a 3m long 3D kaleidoscope installation that opens a portal to a moving visual prism - using various naturally occurring waves of energy filmed through science experiments of light, colour, frequency, and sound.

This work was presented for the UN[contained] Festival 2023 for Georges River City Council
Special thanks to Abstract Plastics for help with part fabrication and HVG Graphics Media for the specialty projector film.

A Folded Reality makes apparent the invisible frameworks that direct limit and construct our perception  

These viewing devices mirrors and glass act as magic boxes that fragment spaces and the senses

Reminding us perception is not the same for everyone  

Reflecting divergent thinking they play with density and translucency tessellating prismatic colours and generating optical sleights of hand fracturing the illusion of empirical reality  

The kaleidoscopes and novelty illusions show how the trick is done

And the trick itself
