Fluid Lines av Juan Mercado

United States

We live in a modern world that is constantly in motion and rapidly changing. The digital technologies have become tools to speed up communications. The carpet “Fluid Lines” is the trace of a dynamic lifestyle. The project Fluid Lines uses choreographed lines that play in space forming a sophisticated surface that weaves and bends. The 2-dimensional lines are manipulated digitally to form a 3-Dimensional space. Each line is unique and has its own path in space but most importantly it plays a role as a whole in the composition.
