Fibers are braided with UHMWPE (Ultra high molecular weight polyethylene) and PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene)ĭimensions of net: 113 ft. MATERIALS AND SIZEįiber and Sky combined with Colored Lighting. Twines are knotted both by loom and by hand, and the ropes are spliced entirely by hand using centuries-old craft techniques. The fabrication of the sculpture combines braiding fiber into twines and ropes. This includes architects, designers, and model-makers in our studio, and an external team of aeronautical and structural engineers, computer scientists, lighting designers, landscape architects, a fabrication team, and the Alleyway Gwanggyo team who helped bring the initial sketches into built reality that people can experience.
Useful for backing up the configuration, moving the program to another computer, etc. Version 1.7.0 (15.10.07) New: the 'About' dialog contains links to open the program folder and the data folder. To create the sculptural form, Echelman worked with a team both inside and outside her studio. Fix: various small improvements and bug fixes of the main program and the setup program. As the sculpture will be seen with the sky as its canvas, it creates a dialogue with this aspect of Korean art history. For this piece, she drew upon the stylized methods of using gradations of blues to depict clouds in traditional Korean temple paintings.
#EARTHTIME. SERIES#
Titles within the Earthtime series sometimes refer to that numerical measurement of time.Įchelman has long been inspired by Korean art and culture, including the decorative practice of Dancheong and Korean masterpieces of Buddhist painting. The earth’s day was shortened as a result of this physical event and the length of time measured in microseconds. Its form is a manifestation of interconnectedness – when any one element in the sculpture moves, every other element is affected.
They measured the change in wave heights of the ocean’s surface as they rippled across the entire Pacific Ocean following an earthquake which originated in Chile in 2010. They explore the contrast between the forces we can understand and control with those we cannot, and the concerns of our daily existence within the larger cycles of time.Įchelman’s studio modeled the physical form for Earthtime Korea using a scientific data set about how a single geologic occurrence in one part of the world had ripple effects all over the world. The Earthtime sculptures seek to heighten our awareness about the way we are all interconnected with one another and our physical world.
Janet Echelman’s Earthtime Korea is the first permanent commission of her 1.26 Earthtime series, laced into the architecture above a public plaza in Alleyway Gwanggyo, South Korea.
