There's no better reason for leaving almost any architectural interior atrium sterile and void of any spectacle: Enter Nebula wave, an enchanting fusion of technology and high art.
Mathematically rigorous with the motion of a caterpillar's crawl, kinetic sculptor Reuben Margolin has created an architecturally site specific kinetic wave sculpture, inside the Hilton Anatole hotel in Dallas,Texas.
Nebula wave is a multi-tiered, geometric structure made of more than 10 miles of aircraft cable, 1,780 pulleys and over 4,500 amber crystals, and measuring almost 100 feet long and 50 feet wide and splendidly simulates an undulating motivation wave.
The sculpture 'swims' continuously as a motor rotates. The work is a multi-tiered, geometric structure made of more than 10 miles of aircraft cable, 1,780 pulleys and over 4,500 amber crystals. Measuring almost 100 feet long and 50 feet wide. The sculpture was built and installed by Gizmo Art Production Inc. inside the Hilton Anatole hotel in Dallas,Texas. (via)
This next video contributes an understanding of the scale of this stupendous art piece within its occupied airspace, and shows Reuben ruminating the design and installation of the Nebula wave.
Reuben Margolin's Nebula wave speaks a dramatic and meditative metaphor for how wave power my soon be contributing to our future electrical energy grid.
