SOFTlab: CHROMAtex.me is a site specific installation designed and produced by SOFTlab for the bridgegallery. The installation was designed to produce a complex environmental and spatial combination of six different colors. The piece is inverted spatialy; the color is mixed in the interior of the form leaving a vibrant interior that is back lit by the gallery. The interior of photo glossy ink jet printed paper is meant to look very precise finished, and smooth, while the exterior is textured with a field of binder clips used to hold the piece together. Rather than having a finished façade or skin that hides the method of construction we chose to invert this relationship. The first thing viewers see is the method of fabrication and you discover the finished effects produced by the construction.
SOFTlab: After a month of printing, kickstarting, laser cutting, and binder clipping we are done! CHROMAtex.me will be opening this Thursday night at the bridgegallery. Thanks everyone for your support through kickstarter! It has been a ridiculous amount of work, but also a lot of fun. The people that have volunteered to give a hand have been great. We all can’t wait till Thursday night.
