About
One part interior glass print, one part exterior wall installation. net_Work consists of two elements conceived as a single artwork. As such, it creates a changing interplay within the minds of those who directly experience the building, serving as an intriguing integration of interior and exterior.
The work is conceived from a deep inner logic and a complete holistic experience aimed at presenting a new kind of contemporary order. These patterns are the result of geometric thinking developed by Cecil Balmond over the course of his career.
Both works are derived from rhythmic compositions and are based upon a hidden system of numbers. Through this, the viewer is given a sense of an underlying structure and yet on closer inspection, one realizes that the patterns never repeat. The art is rooted in an investigation of diverse forms; a way to see and feel movement much in the same way a classical concert evokes emotion.
