In A.A. Murakami's Floating World, giant fog-filled bubbles ripple across a darkened landscape. The seemingly supernatural forms are powered by an array of custom made autonomous machines, which are intermittently revealed throughout the work, puffing dense pockets of fog into shimmering iridescent trails and orbs. Each unique and fleeting, these ethereal forms swim through the air before popping and dissolving just as quickly as they appear.
Floating World is a large scale installation currently exhibiting at M+ Museum and is part of an ongoing series by Tokyo and London-based artist duo A.A.Murakami/Studio Swine that they call Ephemeral Tech, a body of work that employs technology and tangible materials—such as fog and scent—to simulate the sublime of the natural world. The fragility of the materials and the physics of the real-world forces that shape them play on all the human senses and encourage a heightened awareness around the ephemeral nature of our everyday existence.
