Goniochome Softlab,
2019
* bigcollection of abstract colored aluminum fins
* The artist's page for this piece calls it "Sequin", but a sign at the site itself calls it "Goniochome". I don't know if the sign is wrong or the piece changed names. I'm leaving the name from the sign for now.
* inscription:
Based on the concept of iridescence, this piece was
uniquely designed for the main entrance of Fashion
District. One of the most well-known examples of this
magical light effect is Antoni Gaudi's Casa Batllo tiled
roof. "Just as the scales of a fish absorb different
wavelengths of light to produce a shimmering effect,
our piece uses a series of aluminum fins at varying
color and reflectivity to produce a large lenticular
surface that changes depending on the angle of view.
