About NEWVIEW CYPHER

The scene starts in a cave.

It is filled with rocks and water, and mysterious music is playing in the background. At the far end of the cave, the audience sees a rotating object.

As you proceed through the space surrounded by rocks, you approach the main object.

The sculpture created by Luna Woelle stands and rotates freely, yet, at the same time, seems to exist in harmony with the nature surrounding it.

This balance between her sculpture and the natural space – the simple juxtaposition of an artifact and nature – is the grandeur and depth of Luna Woelle’s expression.

In reality, the artifact and the nature around it are perceived as opposites that are difficult to integrate.

Man-made objects give an impression of being artificial, whereas the physical world feels natural.

However, in virtual reality and in 3D computer graphics, we are able to create a “new state” by reconstructing existence through space and time.

This reconstruction could be interpreted as an “ecosystem.”

In this virtual space, we are able to depict and create new ecosystems. This is the key to appreciating Luna Woelle’s work.
