Beyond Magnetosphere is an imaginary representation of planetary magnetic fields and their interactions with the boundary of interplanetary space, the magnetosphere: it is influenced by the convective movements of magma, the molten metal contained within the planet, where magnetic fields and electric currents amplify each other.

The magnetosphere is made up of plasma that never seems to reach a state of equilibrium: a turbulent and unstable interference that undergoes constant global reconfigurations and whose visual manifestations are the perception of photons during the boreal and austral auroras.The photons emitted during these collisions between plasma particles and the atoms they encounter in the ionosphere, higher than the atmosphere, create specific colors depending on the nature of the atom, emitting a wavelength unique to each one.

It is this emission of photons, similar in principle to that of LEDs, that is the subject of the luminous research around which this work is centered, and the link between the infinitely large plasma of the magnetosphere and the infinitely small semiconductors of LEDs.

A study of color, highlighted by the nanotechnological use of polychromatic light-emitting diodes, which have several different wavelength emissions, and whose combination creates colors beyond the light spectrum, generating colors that do not exist naturally.

These thousands of diodes, or LEDs, constitute the luminous pixels of the constantly changing image, like the plasma of the magnetosphere.

The intensity of the photons' color, their capacity for saturation, subtlety, and multitude of shades, and the scenarios created by the thousands of constantly moving LEDs that backlight the fragmented laser-engraved design of the mirror add an extra dimension to the three-dimensional effect created by the mirrors' reflection.

This basic technique of optical reflection using mirrors, employed by Bardula, has been part of her ongoing research since 2015. The technologies that make up each work have progressed over time, with the main evolution in this latest work being the integration of movement.

Here, the work consists of 24 constantly changing light scenarios, some of which are generative and never repeat themselves, and appear either in individual infinite loops or in an overall scenario that repeats them all, arranged chronologically according to the predominance of the color they contain, following the chromatic circle, associated with a shade of the seven colors of the spectrum, to mark the transition between each scenario with a monochrome still image.

The movements, which unfold at a deliberately slow and contemplative pace, invite the viewer to remain in a state of constant anticipation. The animation can be paused at any time, allowing for hundreds of different artworks depending on the moment chosen, using a dedicated smartphone remote control to navigate between scenarios.
