This Shanghai Rainbow Is Made from Suspended Strings

A sea of rainbow of strings was suspended over ARTificial Garden, a group exhiition of works by PRISM DESIGN, Office339, and others. Known as Artificial Nature, the hanging rainbow created collaboratively between PRISM and Office339 lasted from October 24 through November 16, 2014 at the Shanghai World Financial Center. The piece was "a linear and yet cuboid installation work," according to the artists, "Presenting the maternal body—the foundation of life—as well as expressing that instantaneous moment of life being born through deploying countless lines and a metallic skeleton."

"The work provides each viewer with the apparent sensation of an enveloping and immanent experience," they explain. Up close, the work becomes something of a beacon for new design thinking, one that both transforms the space of its own housing and blankets the rest of the works in a pliable homage to organic beauty.
