About "Inverted Atoll"

by elkement

About the artwork

A virtual three-dimensional structure built from mathematically exact diffraction curves. Created with JavaScript, based on threejs, no AI.

In the center of the structure is a hypothetical diffraction grating with a few slits.

I am inverting the pure spectral colors. I do not simulate the diffraction patterns as you would see them – just blurry stripes of colors. Drawing on the physics of diffraction allows me to use vibrant colors that also make sense and not only an arbitrary choice for visualization. Showing a peak where the center of a stripe would be in an experiment makes the artistic representation similar to the natural phenomenon but not exactly the same.

I look at the structure from different angles and at different distances. Like a space probe exploring a weird, colorful anomaly in space.

It is an "atoll" – I completed the circle, so white light would hit the grating from two directions, 180° apart.
