此“流动的图像”带着变幻莫测的色彩，出现在纽约的画廊。
数控切割成千上万快胶合板，在将其组合形成一个起伏动态的鲜艳墙壁。在画廊中以多维的形式展
开，从固体建筑形式的桎梏中挣脱，形成让人着迷的不稳定动态。

“Observe the motion of the surface of the water, which
resembles that of hair; which
has two motions, of which one is caused by the weight of the hair,
the other the
direction of the curls; thus the water has eddying motions, one
part of which is due to
the principal current, the other to the random and reverse
motion.”
At least since Leonardo Da Vinci’s first attempts to
describe turbulence, architects
have been fascinated by the dynamics of flow - perhaps seeking an
escape from the
solid, stable nature of buildings. Beginning in the 1990's,
architects have used
digital software to imbue structures and spaces with some of the
same qualities as Da
Vinci’s meticulous drawings: fluidity, undulation, instability and
temporality. But
while software has allowed architects to create novel, dynamic
forms digitally, they
have struggled to translate these qualities to the physicality of
the material world.
Slipstream is a physical structure that confronts that leap
directly, translating a 2-
dimensional digital line drawing into 3-dimensional
space.
Alluding to Lebbeus Woods' 2010 'Slipstreaming' drawings
of flow, the installation at
the Bridge Gallery in New York is a single
drawing extruded through the gallery space
and cut away to produce a set of interconnected spaces. The linear
extrusion acts as
both structure and dynamic visual filter, shifting views through
the installation and
between the spaces it defines. It's integrity as a structure is
masked by both its
redundancy and bright coloration. Employing
gradients that diffuse and coalesce along
its length, color amplifies the undulating lines, establishing
cross currents that
intensify as visual eddies. Irreducible to form,
structure, or graphic, Slipstream is
a combined phenomenon of the three.
