Botox Cloud Interactive Installation, Party for DAS Weekend

Exhibition: SAQ has developed a reactive modular lighting system which propagates like cloud structures mimicking the complexity of weather patterns. This project is an extension of the exploration of architectural pluralism SAQ first began in their Bikini Berlin project, which began construction in January 2011. SAQ as a studio is involved in a long-standing search to express a plural or probabilistic architecture using design as a device to understand the complexities in our surrounding world. Edition: In collaboration with Zirkumflex, SAQ publishes a limited edition cut and fold print of the paper models used in the installation. Designed like a 3-dimensional jigsaw puzzle, the print is presented in conjunction with the gallery exhibit. The print acts as a spatial extension of the installation, distilling the complexity of forms into a comprehensible package. Thus creating a deeper level of interaction and understanding between architecture and inhabitant. The Botox Cloud edition is made of 2 abstract paper models which can be constructed individually or combined in various connections, both large and small, capturing and reflecting light like clouds on a sunny day. www.saq.eu www.zirkumflex.com
