‘LumiSi’ is an ever-morphing ‘musical mobile’, suspended within a defined timbral orb & taking direct inspiration from the kinetic sculptures of Alexander Calder. 

As with the animated lines & forms of Calder’s mobiles, the sounds of ‘LumiSi’ continually redefine the surrounding musical space as they are, themselves, continually redefined by their own movement. The title refers to the ‘lumisigns’ used in Holopoetry to mark the establishment of verbal-visual relationships through the re-envisioning of kinetic forms in space. 

Reapproaching ‘LumiSi’ in 2023, I was curious to retranslate this ‘musical mobile’ back into the visual via video. The final abstracted video depicts a visual isolation of continual movement, liberated from any discernible source or trigger.
