Check out the constant evolving architecture of a building where each transformation is based on the building’s history and structure as it goes into the anticipation of paradise and the unknown. The Mimoids are wave formations of hundreds of thousands of pixels and have a particular fondness for all human artifacts and they imitate and ‘give variations on the theme of a given object’. Music is specially mixed by local sound artist Jeffrey Yue with music composed by Vuk Krakovic.
