This 48 cubic foot space frame re-investigates the tetrahedral kite as a
potential architectural structure, trading their modularity for modulation
to invite new spatial opportunity and field based effects. Rather than lift,
our structure creates a complex 3-dimensional order of intricately
stacked volumes. A logic of 3-dimensional packing rather than
deformation or smooth variation creates nested hierarchies and
symmetries as well as individual cells with very different character and
orientation.
As the cube turns, 2-dimensional image fragments into a volumetric
field before and re-collapsing to a single image again.. The surfaces
receive image projections of meshed translations of Marilyn Minter’s
highly decorated eyes, producing points of figural legibility and
hybridization that emphasize the dynamic spatial qualities of the interior.
