This new architectural installation is part Twenty-First century tensile structure and part tribute to Disney Studio's sci-fi cult film "The Black Hole". The installation is designed to warp the flow of an outdoor space with a feather-weight rendition of "the deadliest force in the Universe" constructed in tinted mylar resembling stained glass. It swirls above the outdoor courtyard all summer long. An assembly of 512 unique instances of a single but parametrically variable component, the canopy's extreme intricacy and repetitiveness pay homage to actor Maximilian Schell's character, Dr. Reinhardt, in "The Black Hole", a tyrant who wishes to harness the "power of the vortex" and possess "the great truth of the unknown!"
