© Diaa Ahmedien. Laser interactive setup.

This laser installation was built as part of my research practices at Cairo University's National Institute of Laser Enhanced Science. I built a manual laser setup that molded laser beams into free, abstract forms. The custom-made setup was equipped with wireless sensors that could control the setup's mirrors and lenses by monitoring my body movements as the performer navigated through the institute building and its surroundings.

 

The designed processes utilized coherent light to depict the relationship between the hidden energy within my body and the spatial energy present in the architecture of my environment. The red point represents my body's position within the building, and its faded contour signifies my hyperactivity, which influenced the laser beam's shape, causing it to sustainably change, grow, or deform based on my movements.
