Chicago GRID
“Chicago Grid” is a unique exploration of connection and disconnection in Chicago's urban landscape. Using a grid-based approach, the artwork delves into the interplay of light and human engagement. The grid acts as characters on the MART’s canvas, showcasing facets of the city's diverse culture. Animation within the grid brings these elements to life, providing a captivating illusion of movement in the city's architecture. Sound also plays a crucial role, oscillating between melodic and harsh noise, mirroring the interaction between sound, image, and the audience.
