This is the matrix and initial suggestion to which the entire project owes.

Luciferasi is the title of a pair of sculptures that were conceived and specially-designed for the central spaces of ALA Company. The great architectural void traced by the intersection of the flights of stairs lends itself to being the gathering point for views from different levels and heights.

The work revolves around two complex and tangled hanging figures, with threadlike anatomy, made up of aluminum profiles, galvanized steel rods and a thin wire mesh. Both structures are wrapped in a 20-meter piece of a single high-intensity LED strip, which defines them through loose and spiral-like moves.

Directly connected to electricity and controlled by a system created in collaboration with a coding laboratory and the support of ALA’s IT department, the sculptures emit a light in a constant state of calibration. Every minute, in fact, the system updates either increasing or decreasing in intensity according to the trend of the internet data flowing in the Company: the input and output traffic becomes a metaphor for an energy flow, a circulatory system, a buzzing activity, a ceaseless exchange. It is also vibrant proof of signal latency, a remnant, residue and internal resistance to the overflow of communication that marks our daily life.

The project’s core is the direct relationship with the company workers, who become the main architects and authors of this luminous pulsation. Without their active presence, these bodies are destined to fade in intensity and vibration.
