Public art transcends the mere physical. Yet often, it conjures up images of bland, lifeless monuments from a bygone era, celebrating the forgotten figures they are designed to elevate. Sometimes it’s forgettable; other times, indelible.
AweStruct exhibitions are a movable feast for the senses. These installations, lasting from a weekend to longer, are a chorus of voices rather than solo pieces. They are temporary, not permanent, emerging from a dynamic and experimental interplay between digital art projected onto specific contexts, the surrounding architecture, and the viewer.
Viewers liken AweStruct exhibitions to magic. And what is magic but a suspension of disbelief? Magic invites us to step into wonder, to shed our familiar perceptions, of a city, a neighborhood, ourselves. To see it anew, like a voyager. Magic rekindles our love for a place by quieting self-interest, sparking curiosity about our immediate surroundings, and inspiring thoughtful conversations about what we sense and feel. In the art, we find a shared space, gaining new perspectives from what we might have expected to be merely a colorful spectacle.
And people remember the magic.
