Buoyant is an inhabitable sculpture that acts simultaneously as a pavilion, a water feature, and a platform for performance, and ephemeral artworks. The giant mirrored ceiling which reflects and expands the surroundings, appears to float weightlessly above, supported by an array of grooved structural rods that hold a dynamic flow of water along their surface through meniscal tension. At night, the water wall transforms into a canvas for coloured LED lighting and projected digital artworks which actually wrap around the rods, making the experience visible from all sides and expanding infinitely within the ceiling.
