Twirling, whirling dervish of light
You spin untouched, revealing unseen forces
But when touched, your free-flowing nature
Responds with equal beauty

Electric kaleidoscope battling the night
Glow and dance in your own resonance
Allow us to zoom into your depths and
Mesmerize us with your infinite patterns

As one walks up to the Vortexya Video Kaleidoscope, the video signal glows through cobalt stained glass on the perimeter of the screen. Closer in, the controls that change color reveal themselves as the monitor begs to be turned. Now you're spiraling down a virtual world of colors and patterns which change with every interaction. You can change the patterns by turning the monitor left and right. You can manipulate the color with the knobs and zoom in and out with infinite possibilities. You can also use your hands to interact with the patterns, changing them with the sightest gesture. From organic, sand-like mandalas, to entrancing spirals and fantastic horizons, the Vortexya Video Kaleidoscope will reveal unseen energies around us.

Here are some video clips that will play with Quicktime, RealPlayer™ and Windows Media Player. The clips have original soundtracks and are 160x120 pixels small.
