Light Exhibition - International Kepes Society
(15th Dec 2011 - 15th Jan 2012) - noMade Gallery, Budapest, Hungary
‘ArRay’ resembles an intriguing man made mechanism – made of seemingly dead materials such as steel, aluminium, acrylic etc. This characteristic is completely contradicted by the organic movement with which the sculpture is brought to life. The ambiguous movements and light effects conjure up high-speed footage of moving plant life, microorganisms, insects or even bioluminescent deep-sea creatures. This movement is created by Nano scale crystalline movements in a shape memory smart material that acts like human muscle tissue.
The work not only explores the relationship between animate and inanimate, but also goes deeper to externalise on human proportions, properties that happen in nature on a Nano-scale. The connection between the microcosm and macrocosm becomes apparent whereby nature’s systems reveals fundamental similarities regardless of whether we are staring down a microscope or a telescope.
