space

i can spend all day geeking out by myself in a museum so after my adventures with mexican food i walked over to the guggenheim to check out the shapes of space exhibit.

my favorite piece was the one that the guggenheim features on the site. it's by alyson shotz and it's made out of cut plastic fresnel lens sheets and staples. according to the audio tour it was partly inspired by string theory and the movement of time. i was mesmerized by how the colors and images that are reflected through the panel change as people move on the other side.

i also really liked piotr uklanski's installation titled “dance floor.” (as a kid i was teased about liking disco and as a young adult, i spent most of my free evenings in front front of some dj or at some far-away san bernadino rave, so it’s not really a surprise that i would love a room filled with a pulsating dance floor and speakers, blasting irresistible, although obvious, dance tracks.) it was great because as you moved up through the museum, past this installation, you could still hear the music which made me smile.
