It consists of a series of generative animations, driven by scientific data of young stars. This data, collected by scientists using a method called Spectroscopy, creates an understanding of structures around distant young stars, where gas and dust come together to form planets. Scientists study the light this matter emits using prisms to split it into its constituent wavelengths, revealing its elemental make-up.\u00a0<span class=\"s2\">By analysing this data over time, spatial formations of the matter can be decoded.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Semiconductor have worked with this spectral data as a physical material, translating it into rings of light which resemble the gradiated discs of planetary and stellar formations. As the data ebbs and flows it introduces a sense of form and motion, waveforms merge and interfere revealing patterns and rhythms, and engage our human tendency towards pattern recognition. The fragmented LED mosaics provide partial windows from which the spectral data shifts and shimmers to create a raw visual experience.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"The making of Spectral Constellations by Semiconductor\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/659683846?h=6c46b2b030&amp;dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to the <a href=\"http:\/\/archive.eso.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">European Space Observatory archive<\/a> whose spectral data was used in this artwork.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We are delighted to announce the completion of Spectral\u00a0Constellations,\u00a0which made its debut at the NEoN Digital Arts festival in Dundee.
