SonOfTheGods Posted November 27, 2013 Part architectural intervention and part optical illusion, Lucid Stead is a recently unveiled installation by artist Phillip K Smith III in Joshua Tree, California. The artist modified an existing 70-year-old homesteader shack by introducing mirrors to create the illusion of transparency, as the structure now takes on the lighting characteristics of anything around it. LED lighting and other custom electronic components were further installed within the building’s interior to illuminate from the interior at night. Smith says of the installation, “Lucid Stead is about tapping into the quiet and the pace of change of the desert. When you slow down and align yourself with the desert, the project begins to unfold before you. It reveals that it is about light and shadow, reflected light, projected light, and change.” You can see more photos over at Royale Projects. All photos courtesy Royale Projects.

Nungali Posted November 27, 2013 Yeah ... I was imagining it in my local rainforest environment. I especially like the 'floating' roof. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
