Installation by Josep Manuel Berenguer that reproduces a self-organizing system inspired by the collective behavior of fireflies in the mangroves of Southeast Asia. The work consists of 64 units sensitive to light and sound, whose rhythms generate chaotic patterns that tend toward stability. Without any global consciousness, the components interact to create an emergent behavior more complex than the sum of its parts. The visitor’s intervention—by altering the space’s luminosity—stimulates new light and sound configurations. Luci reminds us that nature is full of systems that tend to synchronize, revealing an underlying harmony within apparent chaos.
