Virtual Depictions: San Francisco is a public art project consisting of a series of parametric data sculptures. Devised in collaboration with Kilroy Realty Corporation and Skidmore, Owings & Merrill LLP, this project takes a novel approach to public art by creating a work that combines a sense of subjectivity, collective memory, and shared culture based on spatialization.
Located within the large glass-windowed main lobby of the 350 Mission building, the L-shaped media wall on which the artwork is displayed becomes a spectacular public event. Virtual Depictions invites the audience to make direct connections with their surroundings, including various forms of data that go unnoticed. Through the proposal of this new way to experience a living urban space, this project contributes to contemporary discourse of public art by presenting a hybrid blend of media arts and architecture that make visible the invisible world of data that surrounds us.
