Leif Maginnis
I think technology can make art more accessible and thought-provoking. I'm a machinist, welder, builder. I make light-based installations that are interactive and immersive. I enjoy designing and fabricating geometric forms and mechanical prototypes.
Light Bodies is an interactive light sculpture. Motion tracking sensors mounted on the piece track the motion of the user and projects only the outline of the user’s physical form on the phosphorescent screen with a laser.
What inspired you to make this project?:
I became fascinated with phosphorescence and made small scale projects, then scaled up to this one.
