Ka 'An
Artist
Ka'An is a light installation inspired by Mayan cosmology, where "Ka'An" means sky or atmosphere. The piece reflects the multi-layered structure of the Mayan sky, mirroring the building’s open architecture.
Featuring 16 dynamic lights controlled by a custom TouchDesigner patch, all converging in 3D space, Ka'An creates a dreamlike atmosphere. It offers a unique experience of walking into the air, harmonized with the building’s architecture, and an Ableton-created soundscape.
The site specific work was presented during Data Uotan at No Es Una Galeria 2024 Mexico City
