\nBack in 2014, Boston-based artist Clint Baclawski<\/a> began working with Dibond aluminum composite as a substrate for his three-dimensional artworks<\/a>. His diverse works feature a series of photographs manipulated with the use of LED lighting tubes and mirrored plexiglas. He was invited to complete an on-site installation for Boston\u2019s HUBweek in October of last year where he created a truly immersive experience. <\/p>\n

\u2018Zephyr\u2019<\/a> was finished and displayed in the fall as artist Baclawski describes, \u201cThe piece depicts one of the vast California wind turbine fields in the Coachella Valley and was a site-related piece.\u201d The work was originally featured within a shipping container where an unassuming visitor enters unaware of the bright and colorful work that sits inside. The LED tubes have the ability to transform photography into a three-dimensional medium where photos are further manipulated by a viewer\u2019s movement.<\/p>\n

Baclawski describes the piece, explaining, \u201cIts scale invites viewers to step towards it and interact with the piece. Hundreds of people interacted with the piece, photographing it and themselves from many different angles. My favorite viewers were small children who were fascinated by the light and reflection between the bulbs.\u201d<\/p>\n

The HUBweek artwork was designed within the guidelines of intersecting science, innovation and sustainability. Each artist at the event was invited to showcase his or her works within a shipping container. \u201cIt was a very unique and challenging experience designing and installing in a shipping container,\u201d quotes Baclawski, \u201cUnexpectedly, I had to alter the piece on-site hours before its debut due to unforeseen circumstances within the container.\u201d<\/p>\n

Utilizing Dibond aluminum composite numerous times for previous pieces, Baclawski is an avid user of the material. With the on-site alterations he explains, \u201cDibond was definitely a saving grace for this piece in particular. Without the rigidity Dibond provides, due to the scale and layout, the piece would have presented similar to a funhouse mirror, with noticeable warping effect.\u201d<\/p>\n
