During the week of Art Basel 2017, RGA Rocket approached me to develop a temporary, immersive and spatial work. The installation took place in the historic warehouse space which is adjacent to the firm’s new office/ location near the Miami River, called the Miami River Armory.
Inspired by the architecture, the history, and the Lamella ceiling’s engineering of the Miami River Armory, I responded by installing a light based art installation that expressionistically reacts to the poetics of this particular space. After extensive computer modeling of the space and creating parametric “line art” algorithms, I used the results as a launching point for intuitively “drawing” in 3d space with light. The result is a spatial experience that holds optical phenomena at the forefront of the global human experience.
