Zilvinas Kempinas — O2
Zilvinas Kempinas

O2

A hypnotic column of shimmering magnetic cassette tape is suspended in mid-air, held aloft by the invisible current of air produced by a stainless steel fan below. The endless loop of tape undulates and twists in a fluid, organic dance, creating a living sculpture that exists only through the continuous interplay of force and material. Kempinas transforms obsolete technology into a meditative experience, highlighting the delicate tension between control and chance.
