Olson Kundig Architects - Recognition

[storefront] Olson Kundig Architects is sponsoring “Asian American Arcade,” an exhibit at the Wing Luke Museum of the Asian Pacific American Experience.

The exhibit, on display from Feb. 10 to June 17, 2012, follows video games out of the arcades and into an art exhibition, where visitors will discover the creative power of this addictive, interactive medium. An opening reception will be held on Feb. 9 from 7-8 pm. See more information here.

“we turn our heads towards the light (or wander aimlessly in the dark)” is the title of an installation by Mark VonRosentiel that is now on view on the shadow wall at Olson Kundig Architects.

Sponsored by [storefront] Olson Kundig Architects, the installation includes a mechanical drawing machine that reacts to light, drawing on the wall according to a customized random walk algorithm that is weighted towards brighter areas of the wall. According to VonRosentiel, “the machine should, in a sense, bask in the light of the wall, content and lethargic, while becoming anxious and restless when faced with being in shadows.”

The installation will be on display until April 20th. See [storefront]’s Facebook page for photos.
