Metropolitan Triangle Garden is a 3D animated video, in which classical sculptures in a museum participate in a destructive performance triggered by software glitches and misused simulation, turning the gallery space into a madhouse theater with both classical beauty and waves of digital illusions.
The work was made with support from the Media Lab at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.
