Twisting Snake Buildings

Universe Mind by Nikolay Polissky Looks Like Medusa's Head

— August 7, 2014 — Art & Design
Although This Is Collossal likens 'Universe Mind' to a brain, it falls more in line with twisting snake buildings. As though modeled after Medusa's head, the unusual pavilion is covered in a mess of metal tendrils. This may be enough to capture people's attention, but the snake-like qualities are made even more apparent at night.

This example of twisting snake buildings turns into an impressive light show once night falls. The vibrant moving lights made it look as though the sinuous elements really are twisting around and over each other like a pack of snakes. Designed by Nikolay Polissky, it was recently shown during New Media Night Festival last month at the Nikola-Lenivets Art Park in Moscow, Russia. The light aspect was commissioned by media design studio Radugadesign.
Trend Themes
1. Twisting Snake Buildings - Opportunity for architects and designers to create unique and visually captivating structures inspired by the fluidity and movement of snakes.
2. Impressive Light Shows - Potential for event organizers and lighting designers to incorporate vibrant, animated lighting displays to enhance architectural structures and create immersive experiences.
3. Media Design Integration - The integration of media design and art presents opportunities for artists and technologists to collaborate and create interactive installations that merge the physical and digital worlds.
Industry Implications
1. Architecture and Design - Architects and designers can explore new possibilities in creating unconventional and visually striking buildings and pavilions.
2. Event Management and Entertainment - Event organizers and lighting designers can leverage captivating light shows to enhance the overall experience of events and venues.
3. Media and Art - Media design studios and artists can collaborate to create immersive installations that push the boundaries of traditional art forms.
