8'-6" diameter holographic roundel window

Light explores the transformation between energy, matter and mind. The installation's vertical shafts of light transform dynamically while physically projecting two meters vertically into the space above and below the roundel window. The projecting jets of light expand from an unseen core creating a dynamic that captures the memory of the moment which created them and the power of their expanding potential. Located in the Central Gallery of the Karl Ernst Osthaus Museum in Hagen, Germany. Commissioned by the Werner Richard-Dr. Carl Dörken Foundation of Herdecke, Germany.

Monitoring the sun's transit using holographic fenestration to generate color bands, which migrate around the gallery, articulates the space uniquely. The slowly moving spectra rotates around a 50-foot double spiral maze of mirrors on the floor.

As an artist working with light through the contemporary technologies of holography and computer generated imagery, Weber explores the fundamental concepts through visual forms. Inspired by ideas from many fields including physics, astronomy, philosophy, literature, archeoastronomy and comparative religion, she creates works, which bind art, science and technology into an expression of wonder and quest.
