dear designboom reader,

miami art week 2022 plays with visitors’ perspectives. immersive installations either make them second guess what they are looking at or surprise them out of nowhere. the round mirror that pirouettes in andrés reisinger’s digital artwork disappears to showcase the audi grandsphere concept. on the shore of miami, scottish artist chris labrooy's giant racer emerges from the sand to grab a piece of porsche 911 carrera 4s for him to take home.

in a blink of an eye, functions of common objects and spaces change too. the hanging light bulbs of rafael lozano-hemmer's 'pulse topology' with BMW i record visitors’ heartbeats when they place their palms under the lights. random international's 'living room' strips the space from furniture and ushers visitors to pad through its maze, bathing them with gossamer white rays. even airy balloons transform into solid chairs under seungjin yang’s series, ‘blowing.’

which creative space would you want to experience most?
