Giant illuminated, multicolor, hexagonal sculpture, Kalopeiron, created by artist Two Eagles.

Kalopeiron

Kalopeiron is a human-sized LED hexagon kaleidoscope that is housed in an 8 x 20-foot-long matte black shipping container. The immersive audio-visual experience challenges your sense of space and reality, as the colorful visuals reflect endlessly across the ceiling, walls, and floor, as the visuals reflect into oblivion.

 

The artwork's name, Kalopeiron, created by Two Eagles, is a portmanteau of the Greek words Kalos, meaning beautiful or good, and Apeiron, meaning boundless, infinite.
