Pioneer Tower (Fort Worth)
From the Fort Worth Public Art Commission:
“The premiere of the works by Refik Anadol and Quayola will be the centerpiece for a free community event currently scheduled for the last weekend in February 2021.
“The new video artwork produced for the Fort Worth Pioneer Tower commission will be a continuation of Quayola’s ongoing research on the tradition of landscape painting, and more broadly a reflection on man’s tradition of representing nature. This new artwork will be divided into three main chapters, Tree Laser Scanning, Computational Landscape Paintings, and Computational Animal Paintings.
“Honoring the cultural significance and legacy of Fort Worth, Anadol’s piece aims to celebrate the people, places, histories, and dreams of the city that have been woven together over the years.
