星座

Constellations 屬于動態沉浸式藝術作品，采用光影的流動模式和規則系統結構。Constellations 是一個標志性雕塑，融合了數字工藝和尖端制造技術，以及各種尺度的抽象現象數據可視化。圓形的劇場像是一個門戶，通向以科學、藝術和技術為靈感的動態視覺世界。

Constellations 位于美術和預制藝術中心與佛羅里達州彭薩科拉市的西佛羅里達大學的哈爾·馬庫斯理工學院之間。它錨定校園內STEM 學科之間的格局狀況，并為藝術與科學之間的對話創建開放式框架。Constellations 內設置的部分表演空間和數據可視化設備，為不同學科和信息的對話創造了聚集空間。

該結構為30'x25'x16'的圓形劇院，集人員聚集、信息收集和體驗生活為一體。Constellations 采用不銹鋼結構，由一系列的鍍鋅鋼結構柱、不銹鋼圓梁和格柵組成。懸掛在格子上的是一系列不銹鋼托盤，托盤上裝有由Pharos LED 控制器控制的Phillips Color Kinetic LED。

受早期使用時間攝影和行星運動模擬對動物運動的研究和翻譯的啟發，Constellations 使用幾何學、光和影創造出冥想的內部空間，在晚上成為顯示星座運動的俏皮照明雕塑。從不重樣，一直變化。

Constellations 融合藝術和科學、技術和經驗、數據和藝術為一體。圓形劇場讓來自不同學科的人聚集在一起，觀察數據模式，討論、合作。無論是依照樂譜演奏的音樂家，學習編舞的舞蹈家，觀察數據模式的計算機科學家，還是凝視云層圖像的氣象學家；星座將藝術和技術連接在一起，融合孤立的學科和人。

Constellations is a dynamic and immersive artwork animated by flowing patterns and algorithmic formations of light and shadow.It is an iconic sculpture that merges digital craft and cutting edge fabrication with data visualizations of abstract phenomena found in nature at a variety of scales.Constellations creates a theater-in-the-round that acts like a portal into an invisible world of dynamic visual poetry inspired by ideas of science,art and technology.

Constellations is located between the Center for Fine and Preforming Arts and the Hal Marcus College of Science and Engineering at the University of West Florida in Pensacola Florida.It anchors the landscape between the STEM disciplines on campus and creates an open ended framework for dialogue between the arts and the sciences.Part performance space and part data visualization device,Constellations creates the gathering space for the dialogue of different disciplines avnd information.

The structure forms a 30’ x 25’ x 16’theater in the round–a place to gather,collect and experience.Constructed out of stainless steel,Constellations is made up of a series of galvanized steel structural columns,stainless steel elliptical beams and lattices.Suspended from the lattices are a series of stainless steel trays that hold Phillips Color Kinetic LEDs,controlled by a Pharos LED controller.

Inspired by early studies and translations of animal locomotion using chronophotography and planetary motion simulations,Constellations uses geometry,light and shadow to create a meditative internal space that at night becomes a playful illuminated sculpture displaying constellations of motion.Never the same -always in flux.

Constellations merges art and science,technology and experience,data and art.The theater-in-the-round brings together people from divergent disciplines,to observe patterns of data,discuss and collaborate.Whether a musician seeing the rhythm of a score,a dancer studying a choreography,a computer scientist observing data patterns,or a meteorologist gazing at images of clouds;Constellations brings together otherwise siloed disciplines and people through the merge of art and technology.
