Reuben Wu is known not only for being part of the famous Ladytron electronic music group, but also for his talent in the field of visual arts. In the new project, Aeroglyph takes up the technique of his previous work, Lux Noctis which uses long exposures to capture traces of light formed by a moving drone equipped with a lighting system.

“The project name Aeroglyph describes what I see as large temporary geometries created in the air, only visible in their entirety through the capture of a camera.”

In this series lights go to create luminous symbols such as a square, a plus sign, and a triangle; Suddenly it seems to us that the sky becomes the screen of a giant video game, a virtual reality. The minimalism of the forms is softened by the beauty of the natural landscapes, which on the whole tend to constitute a world apart.

 “This is why I chose a wide and featureless body of water, where there are no other compositional elements other than a horizon and a textural reflection in the water.”

Starting from this October, the book about Lux Noctis and the complete chapters of this incredible series will be available, which you can order on the Kris Graves Projects. Reuben’s creativity is a magic destined to continue, both in the visual arts field and in the musical one as a DJ… said between us: the Ladytron were really cool!
