I recently read about Poetic Kinetics, a Los Angeles-based group that specializes in large-scale art installations and experiential design from concept through execution.
Berlin hosted an open-air art installation commemorating the Peaceful Revolution's 30th Anniversary. Kulturprojekte Berlin approached Poetic Kinetics to create a moving sculpture that would symbolize the unification of the German people. The art installation titled Visions in Motion was set up in front of the Brandenburg gate in Berlin, stretching along the walkway away from it.
The symbol of unity came in the form of 120,000 colorful ripstop nylon and reflective fabric streamers.
A quarter of the streamers had handwritten messages—greetings, wishes, memories, and hopes—from Germans themselves and the global community.
Visions in Motions was a part of a bigger event, the Berlin Festival Week, which took place on November 4th through the 10th. Visitors were able to participate in a variety of events, activities, and exhibitions spread across a number of historical locations to commemorate and celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Peaceful Revolution and the fall of the Berlin Wall.
Poetic Kinetics released this the video about project.
