Case Study
Fiberglass Support Self-Reflective Art Installation
case study Nine and Two Thirds, a fabricator in Rhode Island, recently completed a temporary nouveau art project using Strongwell’s fiber reinforced plastics. The project, titled “Temple of Mnemon,” was a concept designed and imagined by Anne Lilly. The kinetic artist defines “mnemon” as a measurement of memory. Upon entry into the temple, that unit of memory is measured through self-reflection. An individual lies down on one of the benches while the structure’s eight moving mirrors slide back and forth to create voids in the view of both ground and sky. The interactive structure was constructed with tempered glass mirrors, composites, aluminum, steel, a motor and controller, and hardwood benches. Strongwell’s EXTREN ® 525 Series angle, 4", and 6" tubes served as the structural
