RULES
Paola Ibarra Llano
RULES is a collaborative installation created by visitors over time based on three simple rules. The aim is to explore how new connections are created between people who share a physical space and that might not have otherwise had a pretext to start a conversation.

VOLUMEN
Filip Roca
Volumen is an audiovisual installation that revolves around three-dimensional forms contained in a defined space. Their nature and behavior unfold through light and sound, generating optical illusions that play with the perception of the viewer. This piece is an abstract narrative that travels through the different states of matter, distorted physical laws, and hypothetic physical simulations.

WELL WISHES MY LOVE, YOUR LOVE
Gabriel Gabriel Garble

ANALEMMA
Yasuhiro Chida
Analemma captivates viewers with its mesmerizing interplay of countless particles of light. Woven white threads form intricate three-dimensional shapes, giving rise to countless particles of light that emerge, ascend, and fade away. Despite its seemingly simple structure, Chida's creation gives rise to a multitude of complex light phenomena. The random angles at which the threads are woven contribute to the perception that each light point possesses its own unique pace.

BLOOMS
John Edmark
Blooms are 3D-printed sculptures designed to animate when spun under a strobe light. The rotational speed and the strobe light frequency are synchronized so that one flash occurs every time the version turns 137.5 degrees--the angular version of the golden ratio (0.618...).

INTO THE LIGHT
Julia Carrillo
Into the Light by Julia Carrillo is a light essay in a space with controlled conditions that recreates a peculiar rainbow. It consists of a dynamic projection of the decomposition of light that reveals the spectral colors. The static image of the rainbow constantly breaks its own plane, explores the space in unsuspected patterns. The water-lens bounces off any movement, it is interrupted, it stabilizes, it settles.
