Thanks for the tumblelog love! sfmoma: Rafael Lozano-Hemmer’s light installation “Homographies” and Tauba Auerbach’s floor “50/50 Floor”. Tauba Auerbach is an artist who can do no wrong by me. Her giant floor-tile installation is currently part of the exhibition Field Conditions, and is coupled with a kinetic light installation by Rafael Lozano-Hemmer. “50/50 Floor” is made of 50% black tiles and 50% white tiles, which are randomly distributed over the floor in a QR code–like pattern. Auerbach’s work often deals with generative systems, and the aesthetics of this floor are determined by a nearly impossible to achieve mathematical idea of randomness, all the while feeling perfectly balanced. Lozano-Hemmer’s work often deals with some sort of interactivity, creating installations with unexpectedly kinetic objects. “Homographies” is comprised of many fluorescent tubes and surveillance equipment that abstractly interacts with the audience walking on Auerbach’s floor. The lights spin in a circle at varying speeds, creating patterns or suggesting a maze. The whole space feels like it should have a stomach-churning, disorienting effect, yet it remains an exceptionally pleasing space to be in. via Hyperallergic
