The movement of Amplitude is like the pulse that occurs in all living things. Each element
is triggered by a weight that slides back and forth within each fine, glass tube. Because
the movement of the collective installation is synchronized by a computer, an impression
is given of watching a bird flying in slow motion.
In contrast to many of our other works, Amplitude does not incorporate a light source, but
involves the reflection of external light sources on the installation.
