References and Precedence

There are many presidencies of kinetic walls and installations, but out real inspiration was the sunflower and its ability, when it is only a bud, to track the sun across the sky for a full 180 degrees, called Heliotropism. The default position is facing east, so that is why our installation can be manipulated to face only only direction.

Our installation aims to become an intervention within

any urban or rural situation, the most important thing is,

it creates a shadowed meeting space from those who

use it.
