It is called “/meta_material”, the new holographic wall installation by Anne Vieux, a New York-based contemporary artist who manages to create experimental visual landscapes capable of pushing the limits of the viewer’s perception between the real and the virtual.
This public art intervention, commissioned by the art organisation Oz Art and organised by the creative agency JUSTKIDS, ended just a few days ago and is located in Bentonville, Arkansas, on the concrete finishing walls of the architectural Skylight cinema building.
“In this piece, I wanted to disrupt the solid geometries of the architecture with a hyperreal fluid painting placed in the landscape. There are two color schemes presenting two very close realities; one in cool tones, scaled up, and another in earthen tones, inverted and zooming out, repeating in the columns.”

Through art, Anne Vieux breaks and dissolves the boundaries of space, plays with the viewer’s perception and creates futuristic images capable of creating new colourful, hyper-fluid environments open to all.
“/meta_material” reflects on the current cultural-political context, it is a metaphor for a changing and open society in which the frontiers and limits of space open up to union and change.
