FX NETWORKS PROMOTES HULU SHOWS WITH MULTISENSORY ART INSTALLATIONS IN NEW YORK, CHICAGO, AND L.A.
In Los Angeles’ Grand Park, the women-owned design firm Vita Motus created a huge set of 3D printed, industrial wings to represent sci-fi and horror. “The viewer is inserted and engulfed into a chaotic hive of audio, before moving into a relative aural sanctuary, vacillating between dissonance and harmony. A subversion of the ubiquitous angel wings of LA, the installation calls to a darker contingency, hoping to inspire new possibilities.”
