Often the interior of airports is created by famous designers, making it as convenient, functional and visually pleasing as possible. And at Miami International Airport they invited not a designer, but an artist to cooperate, Christopher Janney … That's exactly what he created installation Harmonic Convergenceinstalled in the gallery of the passenger terminal. On the site Kulturologia. Ru, we often talk about the work of the Danish artist Olafur Eliasson, who promotes light and color as a means of orientation in space. Examples include his rainbow panorama Your Rainbow Panorama or the installation Feelings are facts.
Christopher Jenny's work has a lot in common with the work of Eliasson. In any case, that of his installation, which was created by the author at the airport in Miami and called Harmonic Convergence (Harmonic convergence).
Harmonic Convergence features multicolored stained-glass windows installed along the pedestrian walkway of the passenger terminal at Maima International Airport. Through these colored glass, a bright rainbow color penetrates into the building, which floods the room, making it incredibly beautiful, sunny and positive.
In addition to the visual component, the installation Harmonic Convergence by Christopher Jenny also has an auditory component. After all, speakers are also installed along these multi-colored windows, through which the sounds of the nature of South Miami are continuously broadcast: birds singing, insects chirping, the sound of sea waves, thunderstorms with thunder, etc.
Moreover, the more people walk along this installation, and the more noise they create, the louder nature sounds.
To ensure that the Harmonic Convergence installation shines with its beauty, illuminating the gallery of the passenger terminal, not only during daylight hours, but also at night, the management of Miami International Airport plans to install a computer-controlled LED lighting system along the work of Christopher Jenny.
