Inspired by Curiosity
Cabinets of the 16th Century which presented a microcosm or
'theatre of the world' through a collection of objects and
information. Prism Cabinet contains a 180 degree
holographic representation of Keiichi Matsuda's 'Prism'
installation at the V&A. Each of the hologram's
facets live-streams data gathered from around London,
information such as the Thames tidal levels, number of TFL bikes
currently in use, and energy consumption of the prime
minister’s residence - are displayed fluctuating throughout
the day.
The Prism
Cabinet provides an alternative to computers and mobile phones
as portholes into the digital world; exploring how a piece of
furniture can give form and value to the infinite collection of
meta-data that exists online.
As well as collecting data
from London, the Prism Cabinet is made with hardwoods
sourced from across London. Reclaimed parquet flooring in mahogany,
maple and teak have been inlayed with natural marmoleum in
fractured patterns that resonates with the data graphics streamed
from the V&A.
The Cabinet was made in
collaboration with Keiichi Matsuda, Commissioned by Veuve Clicquot
for Andaz Hotel Liverpool Street.
