About Crystal Kristala Lumigado Arta Instalado

La artinstalaĵo Crystal estas farita por la Yonge + St. Clair Fall Art Festival (Toronto, Kanado) kiu celas antaŭenigi lokajn entreprenojn. La Kristalo estas abstrakta 3D objekto 3 metrojn en alteco kaj 10 metrojn longa, celita pruvi la procezon de transformo tra la kristala krado. Uzante triangulajn formojn, la artisto kreis volumetran strukturan arkon similan al kristalo. Por skizi la formon, la strukturo estis prezentita per ŝnura trikado kaj lumigita per 5 metroj da LED Neon Flex-lumo de la grundo.

Unique Properties: The art installation "Crystal" is made for the “Yonge + St. Clair” Fall Art Festival which is aimed to promote local businesses. The "Crystal" has been designed to show the process of transformation throughout the crystal lattice. Using triangular shapes, we created a volumetric structural arch resembling a crystal. To define the shape, we included rope knitting in the design.
Dimensions & Packaging: Installation size:
length - 7.5 m, width - 3.5 m, height - 3.2 m
Tags: art installation, lighting installation, knitted installation, tube structure, handmade, crystal
Production Technology: Materials used in the project:
115 meters of copper tube pipes,
900 meters of ropes,
1000 zip-ties,
5 meters of LED Neon Flex
Research: To implement the idea to life, we had to make a decision on how tubes should be connected. Using ropes was a great solution to keep the structure solid enough and at the same time to have the ability to adjust angles of pipes during assembly. To make sure this works, we developed two additional mock-ups before doing a real one.
Inspiration: Our lives and lifestyles change (transform) over time. We utilized this idea in the "Crystal" installation, one of 6 art installations presented by local artists during the “Yonge + St. Clair” Fall Art Festival (Toronto, Canada) with the main theme of transformation.
Project Duration: One month of outdoor exposure in Toronto, Canada (Yonge + St. Clair)
Operation Flow: The installation "Crystal" stimulates the senses of passers-by and makes them think about their own journey through life. Copper tubes and ropes used in the structure are aimed to symbolize the diversity of life. Cooper tubing has been used to represent choices. People choose the path that they are on and although it may not always seem like it, have control over their life and destiny. Ropes have been used to symbolize the many factors which influence people’s choices.

The piece is aimed to merge with the urban landscape and change over time, gaining features from its surroundings.
