Large-scale installation merging nature with digital art and animation
Create a monumental public art installation that responds to environmental conditions while telling a poetic story about nature's forces. The challenge involved integrating physical elements, digital animation, and real-time responsiveness into a cohesive artwork.
Sand and Wind explores the relationship between natural forces and human presence through kinetic sculpture and projected animation. The installation physically transforms with wind, while digital elements respond to these changes, creating a dynamic dialogue between nature and technology.
Our team designed custom mechanical systems that respond to wind patterns, developed sensor arrays for real-time data capture, created synchronized animation sequences, and engineered all systems for outdoor durability and safety. The installation required extensive coordination between physical and digital components.
Sand and Wind received critical acclaim as a landmark public art installation, attracting visitors and generating significant media coverage. The project demonstrated how technology could enhance natural processes rather than replace them, creating a powerful artistic statement.
