Prox Box v4 is a collection of two dozen rotating pillars; twelve at ground level and twelve more a bit above them. The pillars are partially transparent, and have different amount of transparency on the four sides, so there is a good play of filtered light through them as they rotate. Touching the pillars has an effect, and different pillars do different things, so try them all. The installation also has a pleasant droning sound. I found it a relaxing piece to view; the subtle play of light through the pillars and the sound combine to produce an almost trance-like state.
The artists recommend using a WindLight viewer (1.19.1.4 or later) with at least Basic Shaders and Local Lighting enabled; adding Atmospheric Shaders and Water Reflections is even better if your video card can handle them. They also recommend setting the environment to sunset or midnight (try both, and experimenting with the WindLight sky presets is fun too) and turning up your speakers and stopping music and media, and listening through headphones (though in my experience good speakers work nearly as well).
I didn’t get a picture before Spiral went up, so the photo is a bit cluttered.
