星座

Constellations 属于动态沉浸式艺术作品，采用光影的流动模式和规则系统结构。Constellations 是一个标志性雕塑，融合了数字工艺和尖端制造技术，以及各种尺度的抽象现象数据可视化。圆形的剧场像是一个门户，通向以科学、艺术和技术为灵感的动态视觉世界。

Constellations 位于美术和预制艺术中心与佛罗里达州彭萨科拉市的西佛罗里达大学的哈尔·马库斯理工学院之间。它锚定校园内STEM 学科之间的格局状况，并为艺术与科学之间的对话创建开放式框架。Constellations 内设置的部分表演空间和数据可视化设备，为不同学科和信息的对话创造了聚集空间。

该结构为30'x25'x16'的圆形剧院，集人员聚集、信息收集和体验生活为一体。Constellations 采用不锈钢结构，由一系列的镀锌钢结构柱、不锈钢圆梁和格栅组成。悬挂在格子上的是一系列不锈钢托盘，托盘上装有由Pharos LED 控制器控制的Phillips Color Kinetic LED。

受早期使用时间摄影和行星运动模拟对动物运动的研究和翻译的启发，Constellations 使用几何学、光和影创造出冥想的内部空间，在晚上成为显示星座运动的俏皮照明雕塑。从不重样，一直变化。

Constellations 融合艺术和科学、技术和经验、数据和艺术为一体。圆形剧场让来自不同学科的人聚集在一起，观察数据模式，讨论、合作。无论是依照乐谱演奏的音乐家，学习编舞的舞蹈家，观察数据模式的计算机科学家，还是凝视云层图像的气象学家；星座将艺术和技术连接在一起，融合孤立的学科和人。

Constellations is a dynamic and immersive artwork animated by flowing patterns and algorithmic formations of light and shadow.It is an iconic sculpture that merges digital craft and cutting edge fabrication with data visualizations of abstract phenomena found in nature at a variety of scales.Constellations creates a theater-in-the-round that acts like a portal into an invisible world of dynamic visual poetry inspired by ideas of science,art and technology.

Constellations is located between the Center for Fine and Preforming Arts and the Hal Marcus College of Science and Engineering at the University of West Florida in Pensacola Florida.It anchors the landscape between the STEM disciplines on campus and creates an open ended framework for dialogue between the arts and the sciences.Part performance space and part data visualization device,Constellations creates the gathering space for the dialogue of different disciplines avnd information.

The structure forms a 30’ x 25’ x 16’theater in the round–a place to gather,collect and experience.Constructed out of stainless steel,Constellations is made up of a series of galvanized steel structural columns,stainless steel elliptical beams and lattices.Suspended from the lattices are a series of stainless steel trays that hold Phillips Color Kinetic LEDs,controlled by a Pharos LED controller.

Inspired by early studies and translations of animal locomotion using chronophotography and planetary motion simulations,Constellations uses geometry,light and shadow to create a meditative internal space that at night becomes a playful illuminated sculpture displaying constellations of motion.Never the same -always in flux.

Constellations merges art and science,technology and experience,data and art.The theater-in-the-round brings together people from divergent disciplines,to observe patterns of data,discuss and collaborate.Whether a musician seeing the rhythm of a score,a dancer studying a choreography,a computer scientist observing data patterns,or a meteorologist gazing at images of clouds;Constellations brings together otherwise siloed disciplines and people through the merge of art and technology.
