Technological Art that Inspired Me
As someone who is fascinated by weird, abstract concepts such as the 4th dimension, I was immediately drawn in by the ‘Hypercube’ installation by Jaap van den Elzen. Collaborating with sound designer Augusto Meijer, Jaap van den Elzen created a surreal and disorienting experience that gives the viewer the illusion that they are trapped in infinite space – despite being in an enclosed box that is only 2 meters wide and 2 meters tall. Within the cube, the viewer is surrounded by loud, discordant ambient noise and color-changing neon lights that seem to stretch on for eternity. By shutting the viewer out from reality and immersing them into an area in which their senses are invaded, this audiovisual project provides a new way for people to experience space.
