Permanent Art

BAM builds large-scale art installations for museums and patrons around the world. A mirror of humanity, art expresses highly personal ideas while exploring materiality at a human scale. In questioning social, cultural, and political constructs, art makes it possible for people to think about and engage their surroundings. BAM believes that in the context of our built environment, artistic conceptualization stimulates a sense of identity and place. As digitally produced work reaches an aesthetic pinnacle of smoothness and perfection, computer design is limited by underdeveloped and impersonal ideas. More than ever, BAM finds it vital to express our thoughts and opinions through a series of ballistic detonations.

长期性艺术

BAM有为多家博物馆设计和安装大型艺术装置的经验,我们的客户遍及全球。艺术是一面镜子,它在高度表达个人观念的同时,也从人性的角度揭露了物质性。艺术在人们探寻社会、文化和政治观念时,能够使人们思考周边环境、融入周边环境。BAM认为,艺术概念在人工环境中能够刺激产生一种身份感和地域感。随着数码设计作品在流畅性和完美性上达到审美巅峰,电脑设计也受到了落后思想和非人观念的束缚。BAM发现,电脑设计通过一系列的制导式发散思维比以往任何时候都能表达我们的思想和观念。

    BAM's second waffle structure based on the idea of a cloud. The piece creates a gateway for a housing and mixed use development in Kunming, China. The minty colors are a fresh reminders of the cool high altitude air of the 'Spring City.' The province's name, Yunan, translates literally to 'South of the Clouds.'

    The Vanke Cloud
    Chongqing, China

    The Vanke Cloud Structure was a demonstration of the superhuman speed at which projects can happen in China (largely due to the professionalism of the client.) Taking under three months from first design workshop to complete construction, the BAM team worked against all odds to complete the project, including a landslide that delayed the shipment of pieces in transport through central China for five days.

    A diaphanous, crystally form hangs in the atrium of one lucky China mall. Programmed lights inside the sculpture turn what appears to be a sparkly starry night above, into a psychedelic vista.

    Imagine a forest in a city: Like the leaves of trees, green fans whirl softly above, their movement fluctuating with the fickle wind as it changes course...
