The Big Breath by @severinguelpa reads like an illusion, offering an early glimpse into the aesthetic of a digital future. The installation, exhibited at @palaisdetokyo in 2017, moves and breathes as if born from code. Its seven oversized aluminum cushions inflate and deflate with a mechanical rhythm that mimics life. Monumental yet weightless, the cushions press against the boundaries of their enclosure—the interior is barely able to contain them. ⁠ ⁠ The work prefigures the AI aesthetic before it entered the mainstream. It anticipates the rise of coded aesthetics not through advanced technology, but by embodying its logic. Architecture, installation, and performance converge in a form that feels algorithmically animate—an organism without biology, coded without code.⁠ ⁠ Read the latest editorial on industrialkonzept.com⁠ ⁠ #industrial⁠
