2014 Exhibition
13. MechanoShards
MechanoShards will be a large scale robotic exploration of synchronized motion, light and sound through the framework of abstract geometric figures. The main components of the piece will be twenty foot tall mechanical constructions reminiscent of shimmering crystal shards, executing a wide range of horizontal and vertical motion. The sound will be a composition directly related to the motion with the inspiration of the geometrically-based musical works of Iannis Xennakis.
