'Moments in a Stream' is an upcoming art installation made up of atmospheric pressure sculptures. Although the pieces look as though they have been crushed by a giant, or perhaps a real-life hulk, in reality they were created "using a unique vacuum process that “implodes” geometric shapes causing the material to deform," according to Psfk.
Created by Ewerdt Hilgemann, a German artist based in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, the atmospheric pressure sculptures will be launched on Park Avenue in New York at the beginning of August. Located between 52nd Street and 67th Street, the atmospheric pressure sculptures range from eight to twenty feet in height. Made out of stainless steel, the technique applied to them "represents the inward spiral energy to reach the core and mystery of matter, the ultimate beauty of creation," states the artist.
What's Driving This Trend
- Vacuum Sculptures
- The unique vacuum process used to create atmospheric pressure sculptures presents an opportunity for artists to experiment with new forms of sculpture-making.
- Atmospheric Art
- The atmospheric pressure sculptures present a new form of art that incorporates the natural forces of gravity and air pressure.
- Deforming Techniques
- The deforming technique used to create atmospheric pressure sculptures could be applied to other materials and industries, such as manufacturing or product design, to create innovative and unique products.
Who This Affects Most
- Art and Design
- There is potential for the unique vacuum process developed by Ewerdt Hilgemann to revolutionize the way artists and designers approach sculpture-making.
- Public Art Installations
- The atmospheric pressure sculptures have the potential to be incorporated into public spaces as a unique and visually striking installation art.
- Manufacturing
- The deforming technique used to create atmospheric pressure sculptures has potential applications in manufacturing, allowing for unique and customized products that differ from traditional manufacturing methods.
