SAQ - BotoxCloud
Zirkumflex, Berlin
An interactive Installation. SAQ has developed a reactive modular lighting system which propagates like cloud structures mimicking the complexity of weather patterns. This project is an extension of the exploration of architectural pluralism SAQ first began in their Bikini Berlin project, which begins construction in January 2011.
Zirkumflex presents "BotoxCloud", an interactive Installation by SAQ, organized in partnership with Chromolux and Zumtobel on the occasion of the first edition of DAS weekend (Digital Arts & Sound Weekend) and Transmediale 2011 in Berlin.
The project will be presented as an event combining music and light installation featuring music artists.
SAQ has developed a reactive modular lighting system which propagates like cloud structures mimicking the complexity of weather patterns. This project is an extension of the exploration of architectural pluralism SAQ first began in their Bikini Berlin project, which begins construction in January 2011. SAQ as a studio is involved in a long-standing search to express a plural or probabilistic architecture using design as a device to understand the complexities in our surrounding world.
In collaboration with Zirkumflex, SAQ publishes a limited edition cut and fold print of the paper models used in the installation. Designed like a 3-dimensional jigsaw puzzle, the print is presented in conjunction with the gallery exhibit. The print acts as a spatial extension of the installation, distilling the complexity of forms into a comprehensible package. Thus creating a deeper level of interaction and understanding between architecture and inhabitant. The BotoxCloud edition is made of 2 abstract paper models which can be constructed individually or combined in
various connections, both large and small, capturing and reflecting light like clouds on a sunny day.
