Claudio Marcotulli

Spectrum Collider, 2021 is a biconical light sculpture partly inspired by the mechanics of a collider, an accelerator used in particle physics research in which two beams of particles are made to collide.

Resembling an eye, its center holds its collision point, radiating a warm light, while the sides beam pixelated light prisms.

This piece not only alludes to physical processes but also to celestial phenomena and the themes of human evolution, existentialism and technology present in one of Marcotulli’s favorite films ‘2001: Space Odyssey’.
