J — Light & Wave
How far does a thought travel before it fades?
My signature, turned into an antenna.
Thoughts merge, grow, vanish.
The farther they travel, the more they fade.
How it was made
About 240 tiny wave sources were placed along the strokes of my signature, a quarter wavelength apart, so each stroke radiates like a traveling-wave antenna. Their cylindrical waves were summed pixel by pixel: gold marks the crests, blue the troughs, and brightness the field strength. The loop is one full wave cycle. Physics set the interference and the nulls; I chose the color, the glow and the fade.
