AI-generated narration of the LinkLens-written story only.

Walk through Lucida’s beams, and the light around you changes, according to the artist’s page. Part of the Veil Series, the sculpture sends luminous veils through mist, making them appear to ripple as visitors move among them. The page describes light bending, flowing or forming more structured planes in response to a person’s presence. It is an unusual invitation: instead of looking at a sculpture from outside, you can move through the space it seems to create.

The artist says large-scale optics align the light’s wavelengths and direction to produce coherent beams. The listed materials also include a laser, an acrylic lens, sensors and custom software, though the page does not spell out what each component does. That leaves a practical question behind the experience: how do the sensors detect a visitor’s movement?
