ArtBuilds is stepping into a new chapter as we support our BM26 participatory light sculpture Axion Seed // this night will be different // expect extended sets enjoyed from soft lounges, expanded environments, roaming theme camps, and pockets of interaction woven through the space.
This is a night for movement, for lingering luxuriously, for getting lost and finding each other again. We invite you to step into our sonic garden of soulful trip hop liquid downtempo soul melting atmospherics in lounges, small worlds within the world // step inside and replenish your soul.
AXION SEED
ArtBuilds is stepping into a new chapter as we support our BM26 participatory light sculpture Axion Seed
Axion Seed is a participatory light sculpture exploring the dawning of self awareness.
At its center, a mirrored rotating cylinder sits within a pentagonal enclosure, sending discrete beams of light outward to mirrored surfaces that return them inward, folding back toward their source. As participants gently turn the cylinder, the light paths shift and recombine into evolving lattices that respond directly to human touch.
The installation renders a visible feedback loop in which action produces reflection and reflection produces awareness, imagining a being that first radiates freely into space without self knowledge, and only upon the return of its own light begins to perceive itself as a source.
THEME: // Resonance of Sanctuary
In this year of Oasis we are celebrating consciousness as a bridge between perception and existence, deliberate geometry, lunar gemstone back alley lapidarists, cosmos panpsychism philosophers, wearable wet wear sensor tech modulation specialists, radical rejuvenation in the face of chaos, Neo-Andean architecture, extreme spinal lounges of repose, recursive selfhood.
ARTWEAR SUGGESTIONS://
