THIS EXHIBITION HAS ALEADY OCCURRED

Luminous, connected, resonant

For this third major public art commission at the center, Daniel Canogar (Madrid) has created a site-specific sequence of dynamic, data-fed sculptural forms. Surge encompasses thousands of flickering LED lights in moving, ever-changing, computer-generated abstract images that glide across four sinuous, ribbon-like sculptural elements.

Responding in real time to incoming data—ranging from internet traffic at Virginia Tech and energy consumption in the center to regional wind speeds and temperatures—the generative visuals of Surge flow continuously across four walls.
