Cloud Swing
Overview
Cloud Swing is a cluster of glowing, cloud-like structures referencing a ubiquitous symbol of childhood. First exhibited at Burning Man in 2019, the work itself remains accessible and unassuming while generating feelings of nostalgia and delight when activated. When still, the clouds remain a soft, glowing white, but as participants begin to swing, they burst into color, responding to the movement below with dynamic light patterns. Since its initial exhibition, Cloud Swing continues to enchant audiences at museums and festivals across the globe, including Toronto, Abu Dhabi, Barcelona, and most notably, Vivid Sydney in Australia.
