DICHROIC Incidence

A study in the interaction between dichroic film and a light source. Generated patterns of dichroic acrylic glass tiles spin underneath a light source, or the light source spins around the grid of tiles. Dichroic filters selectively allow certain colors to pass through and reflect other colors. This effect is due to a phenomena called thin film interference; when light passes through a film, some waves are reflected by the film boundaries causing some wavelengths to be amplified and others to be cancelled out.

Initially inspired by the work of Chris Wood - “gloaming”
