Interactive Glass Kinetic Sculpture Supernova by Petra Krausova. The breathtaking interactive glass kinetic sculpture Supernova introduces the future into the present. It magically transforms itself in both time and space, responding to the viewer’s movement by changing its form. The installation is composed of clear glass elements with linear texture that creates fascinating light patterns while moving through various angles. Supernova ́s overall shape pays homage to last year’s kinetic sculpture, Alice. Like Alice, Supernova invites us to look beyond the glass. Its beauty comes alive with unexpected movement and refraction of light. When exploring the universe, scientists use prismatic refraction in order to identify a supernova’s composition, temperature, pressure, density and expansion. Here, it’s up to the viewer to look through the glass and into the light, aware that this creative burst is likely to outshine its galaxy.
