Indoor, large Light & Optical & Kinetic
air driven sculpture for public places.
...much like a contemporary Chandelier....
General Design:
The modular structure of 10 cubes wide by 10 cubes deep by 10 cubes
high form an almost 20ft *20ft *20ft monumental suspended cube which
will be custom-sized
for the client's particular space.
There are interesting views from all sides, as well as from below. The
cubes used are made of
brushed aluminum (or if preferred – painted ABS, color selection open)
and Lucite (acrylic).
Any light from a skylight or light spots above leaves a gently moving
and ever- changing light and
shape composition, as the cubes turn on the 10 suspension wires.
Due to the light refraction in the Lucite, there will be subtle but
eye-catching prism-colored
reflections on the floor, as well as on the walls and the ceiling.
As a
basic approach I suggest a voluminous 20ft cube assembly of
approximately 800 Lucite
and aluminum cubes (the remaining 200 are interspersed voids to make the
cube visually
more interesting – please see movie). The exact size of the cubes will
be determined together
with the client's architect upon receipt of dimensioned drawings (incl.
reflected ceiling plans).
This light sensitive and impressively large-scale, suspended sculpture
is most always in motion,
and always changing shape and throwing light reflections – attracting
attention and delighting
onlookers from small children to adults of all ages.
