This app is a virtual tour of moiré, a new exhibition by the German artist Carsten Nicolai.
carsten nicolai: moiré is on view at The Pace Gallery — 534 West 25th Street from May 21 through June 25, 2010.
The word “moiré” refers to visual interference patterns, which are created when two or more layers of simple dot, line, or grid structures overlap, producing an additional pattern on top of the original layers. Often an unwanted side-effect in printing processes, Nicolai uses the moiré effect to emphasize its potential on both a scientific and artistic level.
Carsten Nicolai has been working at the intersection of art and science since the early 1990s, creating complex, interdisciplinary works which push the boundaries of human perception. This show explores the moiré effect in motion- and light-activated large-scale installations, sculptural works, and drawings. The exhibition precedes the release of the artist’s new book, moiré index, to be published by gestalten this August.
