The multiple LED screens of the COMO at SKT Tower provided several thinly sliced views into this gigantic translucent formation, revealing time and space within the otherwise invisible, as well as impossible structure.

The perceived interpenetration of skeletal architecture and unrolled, map-like landscapes reveals textures of the man-made restructuring of nature. Their different granular perspectives create a filament-like volume of possibilities fusing past, present and future. In their flatness the visible sculptural slices are reminiscent of our accelerated life, where we displace ourselves into technology and transcend the physical body.

When seen from a fixed point of view, there is a sense of perceiving a complex transformation. This phenomena unravels as the sculpture wanders through the building. Yet, the »animation« perceived is just the sliced perception afforded to the viewer; the structure of the virtual object on the multiple LED screens remains the same. In vellum, motion is form and form becomes motion.
