Voussoir Cloud
Los Angeles (2008)
IwamotoScott was commissioned by the SCI-Arc Gallery of Southern California Institute of Architecture to do an installation for its prestigious architectural series that acts as an incubator for new ideas.
Jacob Hashimoto's work, "Silence Still Governs Our Consciousness," which debuted at the Macro Rome Contemporary Art Museum in 2010, is an installation made from more than 7,000 kites. Intended to encourage meditation and exploration of concepts of space and time, the work envelopes the viewer as if in a cloud.
