The Corpus Callosum

Imagine tumbling down the rabbit hole in Wonderland and landing smack in the middle of a David Lynch movie set. In a nutshell, this was my experience at the Chanel Mobile Art Exhibition.

Unlike many conventional art exhibits, this interactive audio-guided tour takes you through a journey of the senses and leaves you somewhat bewildered with what just took place. This traveling museum concept also uses the backdrop of each city to create a piece of structural landscape art wherever it goes. I don’t want to give away too much so you’ll have to check it out for yourself.

German artist Julius Popp is known for integrating elements of design and technology in his works of art. For his Bit.fall exhibition, Popp utilizes a device with computer-regulated valves suspended from the ceiling; droplets of water are released at specific time intervals to create preset formations. The result is a cascade of words and images that magically rain down and disappear upon impact with the ground.

The Broad Contemporary Art Museum designed by Renzo Piano is now open to the public. Check it out next time you’re roaming around the City of Angels.
