Two Hundred and Seventy
2018
A site–specific installtion realized for the exhibition "Sagmeister & Walsh: Beauty" at the MAK - Museum für angewandte Kunst in Vienna (Austria) running from 24. October 2018 until 31. March 2018.
Through the combination of an everyday material with precise technology the mixed media installation fills the whole columned hall from the 19th century with its fluid movement and peculiar sound. Concavely arranged and floating above the spectators heads the form of the artwork seems to pass the skylight like the sun's rays.
Subdivided into nine columns, the nearly 70 square metres large piece of art follows a site-specific choreography determined by a program. Its moving surface is made from 270 white garbage bags, being inflated and deflated. In this way shapes and the boundaries of the installation itself start to dissolve. „Two Hundred and Seventy“ is the first installation with an undisguised view behind the scenes and onto the origin of the wavelike and organic movement: 1080 fans, lots of cables and 45 circuit boards.
approx. 9 x 7 x 7 m (size variable)
garbage bags, steel frame, fans, custom electronics and programming
