Current Artwork
SUN
Philip Schütte
SUN empowers visitors to control the rising and setting of the sun. As the visitor moves the ball, the position of the sun changes how light interacts with the atmosphere. Schütte draws inspiration from the way technology affects our daily lives and uses it to build bridges between us in a playful and curious manner.

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...).
