Hypar unveils the interplay between nature and technology, harmoniously blending these elements into a symphony of light and sound. This captivating artwork invites viewers to explore and experience Hypar’s dance between the two worlds. As the light show progresses, the initially separate realms of nature and technology collide and eventually merge into a beautiful, unified composition.
The shape of Hypar is crafted by precisely arranging cubes into the challenging pattern of a hyperbolic paraboloid. This design showcases the contrast and harmony between the rigid, geometric cubes and the organic patterns found in nature. By integrating geometric elements into a natural, hyperbolic pattern, Hypar delicately portrays the balance between technology and nature as the overarching principle. The artwork is designed to be perceivable from all angles, encouraging viewers to appreciate its beauty from every perspective, including beneath the structure.
The artwork first debuted at GLOW Eindhoven 2019, and has since been shown in Vilnius (Lithuania) and Essen (Germany).
