SOBRE ESTA OBRA
Texto de Janaina Mello Landini
The FB AIR Commission commissioned this installation for one of architect Frank Gehry's buildings at Facebook headquarters in Menlo Park, California, in 2019.
Facebook has a close conceptual relationship to the word LINK. Its system is a virtual space where people reflect the different types of "being in the world" relationships, both at the individual and collective levels and their infinite interdependencies.
Ciclotrama acquires its most significant power when talking directly with the architecture of the place. Here, Ciclotrama occupies this lounge with high ceilings, opposite walls, and floats in the middle of the space, where people can observe the installation from different points of view.
Based on recent research relating Ciclotramas to the mathematical concept of the intersection, two strings intersect in the air forming a link. These thin wires interconnected as in a binary tree, due to the installation scale, reinforces the algorithmic infinity of the represented system.
