The event is free and open to students and members of the public.
Simeon’s 5-ton ‘floating sculptural from’ emerges out of the street façade of the new building, which is home to the Institute of Digital Innovation and the exciting DigitalCity project.
Simeon says: “Cactal is based on a digital organism. What the students and public will see high up on the facade of the Institute’s building is a process of self-generation that has been frozen at a particular moment.”
Cactal is the latest in a series of works by Simeon Nelson that addresses the historic relationship between sculpture, ornament and architecture.
