Technology and Trees: The Sculpture of Roxy Paine

29 Sep 2014 • design-milk.com

The reality-jarring experience is surprising in more ways than the material. The scene is reproduced in forced perspective – a technique often used on stage sets to drastically increase the perception of depth. In this case, what appears to be an 80-foot deep room is compressed into only 18 feet. Everything, from the vents to the poles get incrementally smaller as they move back in space.

I’d love to see this in person.
