Infinity is a group of 8 Architecture student from Unitec. We have been selected to create an art installation for the GLOW, which is part of Artweek, an annual 10-day festival in mid-October that celebrates the arts community in Auckland. This year GLOW will be held at Windsor Park Devonport. The Project
In this project, we wanted to combine light and architecture. So we decide to create infinit
y mirrors, which use light and reflection to create a space that disappears into infinity. We will create 8 freestanding panels (the gates), and a podium (the abyss). We aim to create an illusion that will evoke curiosity and play with the spectator sense of depth. For this concept, we will use timber, acrylic and steel to build 8 Gates. Those simple materials will allow for an easier and safer construction, and a structure that will have minimal impact on the park. We have already created a prototype, and its looks better than we imagine. But we need your help to build the rest of them
How you can help? Even if it’s a school project, it isn’t funded by Unitec or Artweek, so we need to raise the money ourselves. We have estimated the panel unit to cost around $250, and that is for the frame only. Because we are still designing the light patterns, which could add another $30-$100 depending on the design. So to create the 8 panels we need $2000. We already got a few sponsors on board, but we need more funds to get the best materials, and build the floor and the room (Those two would coast an extra $2000). But we can’t do it without you! So Please Donate and help us bring infinity to Auckland! https://www.pledgeme.co.nz/projects/4782-infinity
