Pizzicato comprises laser transmitter, fluorite, metal string, sound box, and control device. The raw ore of fluorite floats on the table and rotates slowly. When the white laser beam from the ceiling penetrates the fluorite, it will become refracted light of different wavelengths due to the crystallization and polarization effect of the fluorite, and the metal string underneath the fluorite will be plucked by the ensuing photoacoustic effect, hence the string tone made by the interaction between light and matter.
As the overhead light source slowly shifts along its straight trajectory, Lichtung_Pizzicato invites viewers to rediscover, through various sensory pathways, how ever-changing light falls upon matter and to listen to the co-constructed resonance between light and the internal structures of raw minerals.
