This weeks artist I chose is “Asymptote”, Asymptote is an architectural office formed by Hani Rashid and Lise-Anne Couture in 1987. From them comes Fluxspace. Fluxspace 3.0 was created in 2002. Fluxspace is a series that was made by studying the different forms of intersection between the virtual world and the actual world. They took the digital medium and brought it out into actual space. Architectural object shaped by projections of data streams in mirrored surroundings. They used 8 speakers, 5 DVD players and a reflector made of multichannel video installation
Fluxspace is amazing to me because it really does take the digital aspect of the design brings it out into almost a 3D type of atmosphere. The way the book describes it “The fluidity of virtual space becomes part of the physical environment of installation. A distorted and seemingly inverted urban landspace is projected on to an amorphous shape hanging in the middle of a room with mirror covered walls.” I would personally love to see this phenomenon for myself.
There is already a digital design that is projected onto an blank object that is also hanging in the air. That by itself would be fascinating to see but to take that object and make it look almost multiplied by using mirrors would be even more amazing. If I was viewing this, and I was in that dark room surrounded by everything described. I would no doubt feel like I was in space and like I was floating in the midst of these objects. The design itself reminds me of some kind of giant satellite that is floating in the thermosphere. It would almost seem unreal too see this display.
