CURRENT ARTWORK


CONSTANTLY TRAVELING TOWARDS THE SUN
Massimiliano Moro

Constantly Traveling Towards the Sun is a kinetic sculpture that focuses on an infinite loop around a circle of light, a timeless journey with no beginning or end. It invites viewers to explore the delicate dance of light, shadows, and reflections that fill the surrounding space. Allowing the viewer to lose track of time and discover a new perspective.

BLOOMS                                                                                  John Edmark       Blooms are 3D-printed sculptures designed to animate when spun under a strobe light. The rotational speed and the strobe light frequency are synchronized so that one flash occurs every time the bloom turns 137.5 degrees--the angular version of the golden ratio (0.618...).                                                                      photo by Devon Hutchins

SWING
Rejane Cantoni

SWING is an interactive installation in which the viewer is asked to walk on the surface of the artwork, thus becoming a participant. The surface is composed of modular planes that move in all directions, like a seesaw. Each step the participant takes reverberates across the entire artwork. For every action, there is an equal reaction.

MICROMONUMENTAL MAPPING, THE ESSENCE OF CREATION
Limelight

Micromonumental Mapping, The Essence of Creation by Limelight was originally created to be displayed on the Opéra de Lille in France for the Lille Video Mapping Festival that was set to take place in April 2020. Due to COVID 19, the festival had to be postponed so the artists decided to downscale and project it onto a 1:40 3D model of the building.

RULES
Paola Ibarra Llano

RULES is a collaborative installation created by visitors over time based on three simple rules. The aim is to explore how new connections are created between people who share a physical space and that might not have otherwise had a pretext to start a conversation.

ARC
Ian Brill

Arc is an immersive, generative, audiovisual installation inspired by the experience of riding subways as a child and tells a fable regarding the momentous necessity of technology.

KILLING TIME
Mesplé

Killing Time is a kinetic hourglass sculpture. When a viewer approaches the sculpture, an internal sensor detects their presence. A curated sequence is triggered, releasing a deep black liquid, ferrofluid, producing breath-like motion from and into the mouth of a polished skull.
