The Phantom Resonance

Vinyl, Plexiglas and Electronic System, 38.5*38.5 cm, 2025

A kinetic installation composed of two transparent plexiglass disks. A Penrose tiling—a complex geometric pattern that does not repeat itself—cut into vinyl stickers, is applied to each disk. The plates are connected by a common axis with a bearing; a stepper motor moves the outer plate while the inner plate remains static. The relative motion between the two geometric layers produces a dynamic Moiré effect—floating resonance patterns that change constantly.

The work examines the "Observer's Paradox": the magnificent patterns revealed to the eye do not exist in any of the object's physical layers, but are created solely within the viewer's neural and perceptual mechanism through the kinetic interaction. "Phantom Resonance" suggests that the reality we experience is often the result of an encounter between separate systems, where the observer is the one who "completes" the picture and creates meaning and order out of movement.
