Guggenheim Contemplating the Void: LightCone
New York, NY, United States
IwamotoScott was one of 200 architects, artists and designers invited to a speculative installation in the Guggenheim Museum in New York City, as part of the museum's 50th Anniversary celebration.
Our proposed installation design brings together three performative arrays of fiber optic lines: two would transmit daylight from the museum's skylights (tapping into both the large overhead exposed skylight and the convered-up spiraling perimeter skylight); while a third array would transmit and project images of the entire Guggenheim collection on the spiraling gallery ramp walls (with individual artworks able to be called up and projected by visitors via their mobile devices).
