JENNY SABIN STUDIO’S, LUMEN, THE WINNER OF YOUNG ARCHITECTS PROGRAM 2017 AT MOMA, IS AN IMMERSIVE INSTALLATION

- 

With its unique immersive and interactive character, Lumen, an installation created by New York-based Jenny Sabin Studio, is the winner of the Young Architects Program 2017 at The Museum of Modern Art and MoMA PS1. Its light-sensitive textile responds to the presence of viewers in a palpable way. Around one-million yard, digitally-knit and robotically-woven textile has been used to create the installation that spreads overhead in the museum courtyard like a canopy. It’s a web of 1,500 cellular components and 250 hanging tubular structures. It changes and evolves depending on the heat, light and density of matter or people around it.
