‘ berlin-based architect anna kostreva has created an interactive installation that pushes the boundaries of viewing experiential art. over six thousand soft vertical strings fill the gallery as an explicit spatial volume where gradients of light, color, and mass emphasize existing thresholds of transition in the room. as a counter statement to purely visual artwork, the piece was designed to be the setting of a dance party at the wand project space in berlin to provoke people to play and intervene in their surroundings, colliding in a haptic field and merge gesture with material. the work incorporates the energy provided by people as a source of entropy, tracing individual actions as organized subsystems. it is a destructible environment and the overall effect is an increase in disorder within the piece over time.
