A Multi-Sensory Art Installation Opens in Brooklyn

A multi-sensory experience from performance architect Alex Schweder has taken residence at A/D/O, a creative work space opening in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. This is the second event in the public arts and cultural program called #TheFutureSeries hosted by B&O PLAY[1], the sister brand to high-end, luxury audio brand Bang & Olfusen[2]. The series is a way for B&O PLAY to showcase experimental and contemporary creations with unique technologies.
#TheFutureSeries Presented by B&O PLAY
This exhibit features three large-scale, interactive works celebrating design, movement and innovation, including an inflatable hotel room on a scissor lift. If you’re feeling brave, take the 30-foot ride up in the air in The Hotel Rehearsal[3] and enjoy the exceptional views of Brooklyn.
Schweder’s The Sound and the Future[4] is made of metallic vinyl and faux fur and powered by fan-blown air. While taking on life and movement, this “architectural robot” pays homage to the birth of techno in 1980s Detroit.
Don’t miss Friable Aperture[5], a mesmerizing piece inspired by the possibility of “buildings that perform themselves”. The misting, cyclical loop of ever-changing shapes and patterns will be a treat for your senses.
Check out #TheFutureSeries[6] presented by @beoplay[7] on October 21, 22 and 23 at A/D/O (29 Norman Avenue, Brooklyn).
