A new, mesmerizing installation by Lawrence Lek, Gravity's Folly is "a virtual world based on the tradition of the architectural folly: classical garden pavilions whose only purpose was to sit and contemplate the landscape. In this n
ew work, however, the landscape is entirely digital and everything is falling apart."As in many Tabor Robak's recent installations, Gravity's Folly is rendered in real-time on three vertical screens using high-end PC gaming hardware, with the simulation programmed to be unique each time it loops.Gravity's Folly was featured in Software, installation view Hard Problem at Cubitt Gallery, curated by Morgan Quaintance in October 2015
