Mind bending new art installation lights up New York City skyline
A new immersive art experience is coming to the New York City skyline.
Acclaimed artist Kenzo Digital has created ‘Air’ within SUMMIT One Vanderbilt, a multisensory, transformative experience that will forever change how the New York City skyline.is viewed
"New York City is my home, my constant source of inspiration; it has molded me and given me so much," said Kenzo Digital.
"With Air, I want to create a space that shares the intoxicating sense of aspiration and inspiration that New York gives me."
Air is a walkthrough art experience that begins after entering SUMMIT One Vanderbilt adjacent to Grand Central Terminal and extends through a mirrored, light-infused elevator ride up a thousand feet to the 91st floor.
Once atop the building, Air offers visitors a multi-floor, multi-space immersion that challenges their notions of physical reality, and the city that surrounds them.
Through the use of glass mirrors on every structural surface, Air appears without fixed form, and offers a tantalizing experience for each visitor.
With everything mirrored, each step rearranges what visitors see.
Air is an immersion in nature in the heart of Manhattan, likened to a Central Park in the sky. With its unique vantage point, Air brings the outside environment into the space and then magnifies it infinitely.
Air is also expressed through its multisensory use of sound, lighting, production design, and game engine.
After dark, Air takes new form as the space is transformed through a one-of-a-kind light and sound story,.
"Air is another dimension, where you discover that time rearranges itself as fluidly as the view," said Kenzo Digital.
Kenzo was commissioned to design the installation by SUMMIT One Vanderbilt.
Kenzo is an artist who creates alternate worlds in physical and virtual spaces, using elements of art, film, theater, and architecture.
Air represents a bold, innovative leap forward in physical-space storytelling and the potential of art and real estate on a grand scale.
