Liquid Structure - Installation - 2024
présentée dans le cadre de l'exposition Panorama 26
Installation
Liquid Structure is animmersive experience based on sound and the projection of images onto a geometric structure. The work immerses viewers in kaleidoscopic patterns that underlie our physical reality. Inspired by the geometric and structural concepts of the thinker and architect R. Buckminster Fuller, the project offers spectators a panorama of multisensory connections across the many scales of our universe. The performance takes the audience on a trans-scalar journey through the many states, appearances and mutations of water, from microscopic molecular patterns and crystalline structures to diaphanous atmospheric vapour, from a single droplet to an ocean and galactic gas clouds. The visual and aural content is constructed from observations and empirical data describing the behaviour of water at different scales. Liquid Structureis a visceral bodily experience of the physical world in motion.

Certain Measures
Certain Measures is a creative studio based in Boston and Berlin, set up in 2014 by Andrew Witt and Tobias Nolte. The studio combines imagination and reasoning to design the architecture, experiences and products of the future. They design spaces and experiences using new technologies, scientific methods, refined intuition and a constantly refreshed sense of curiosity.
Andrew Witt
Born in Michigan in 1977, he lives and works in Boston. He is co-founder of the Certain Measures studio and assistant professor of architecture at Harvard University’s Graduate School of Design. Trained as an architect and mathematician, he is interested in applying a synthetic and logically rigorous approach to form, and in the relationship between science and design.
Scott March Smith
Born in Washington in 1987, he lives and works in Philadelphia. He holds an Master in Architecture (with distinction) from Harvard Graduate School of Design and a BA in Music from Amherst College. At Certain Measures, he has designed narratives and technical systems for interactive tools and immersive experiences that allow us to re-imagine what is possible.
Martín Ignacio Fernandez Born in Buenos Aires (Argentina) in 1990, he lives and work between New York and Miami. He holds a Bachelor of Design from the University of Florida and a Master of Architecture from Harvard GSD. With Certain Measures, Martin develops geometrical configurators for the construction industry and waste circularity, museum exhibitions on synthetic biology and generative artificial intelligence, and cartographic research on urban typologies.
