generating a visual and emotional experience

in this period when cities dozed off in confinement, vincent leroy (find more here) re-enchants the urban space with a new experience in the form of a public artwork combining visual poetry and digital imagination. the metacloud takes the form of a giant levitating cloud floating in the streets of tokyo. despite its monumental size, metacloud seems barely tangible, almost unreal. slow and continuous, the movement of the piece brings a permanent change of point of view and generates fluid and dreamlike transformations. the thin curved blades that compose the installation overlap and create captivating and infinite moiré effects that plunge the passer-by into a waking dream. the experience is visual but also emotional.
