A reflection on the fragile balance of utopia, mischer'traxler's kinetic light sculpture, LeveL, was poised to unsteady itself at the slightest movement. When the mobile was perfectly still, the lights were at their brightest, illuminating the room fully. As visitors entered and moved around the space, their breath and the drafts of air created made the rods tilt and the LEDs dim, setting the mobile out of balance. The delicate and ever-changing sculpture reflected on the precariousness of the utopian ideal, and its potential to unravel when subjected to the reality of everyday life.
