Homunculus Nimbus

Résumé

This paper discusses the concepts and process in the creation of homunculus nimbus, an installation made of several sculptural bodies (homunculi) that are used to cover shell-like pavilion that acts as a habitat for the homunculi. Homunculus Nimbus is a projection of a future where synthetic life-forms are commonplace. The exhibit simulates the life-like resting and wake cycles in nocturnal beings by providing quiet and shade in the day and by activating with light and sounds at night through a continuous flow of light patterns in response to each other. From a distance the work is sculptural, but it is a destination as well as an object. Visitors are invited to enter the work, benches provide a place to rest and contemplate, inhabit, and commune.
