This temporary installation was an investigation into the possibilities of place-making using found object, sound, and light.

.

.

LOC was invited by the Architecture and Design Museum to create a site specific installation for their exhibition Come In.  The challenge to LOC was to respond to a chosen site within the museum and create something with little or no expense.

 

.

 
 

the investigation began with discarded plastic wine glasses as seen suspended from a net hung from the office ceiling.

.

.

.

Using a total of 870 discarded glasses collected over 4 trips to the Barnsdall Park Wine Tasting event we used a garden net suspended from four corners with an internal light and a motion detected fan.  Once the piece was approached, it would ‘activate’ and the glasses would all move in response to the viewer.  The piece is named 435L as that would be the volume of wine consumed out of these glasses.

125 (ml/pour) x 4 (pours/glass) x 870 (glasses)=435 Liters
