CONCEPT Most man-made objects have a static form, while everything natural in this world, including people, are subject to constant metamorphosis and adaptation to their surroundings. Meadow is the result of the question of how an inanimate object can mimic those changes that express character and emotions. As an upside down landscape the kinetic sculpture reacts to the visitors as if they where the sun to a blooming flower. All flowers together create the experience of a botanical creature that naturally engages the viewer. The robotic flowers blossom by mixing the light colour and the colour of the fabric that in itself has a colour gradient.
MOVEMENT Types of movement will vary from very slowly expanding and contracting behaviours to a surprising instantaneous opening of the flowers in a much higher speed. A combination of those two types of movements will result in a carefully orchestrated composition that runs through the entire sculpture.
CHOREOGRAPHY The movement of the flowers is programmed to create a subtle choreography. For each installation we make a custom choreography supervised by the artists themselves. The movement of Meadow will complement the space and take the use of the space into account. Kindly note: The flowers of Meadow open and close, but stay at the same height position. They do not move up and down.
