Walking into SPACEFILLER’s new show at Glass Box Gallery is like stepping into another universe. The artists behind the project—Alexander Nagy and Alexander Miller—went to great pains to block all outside light from coming inside the gallery, papering over the floor-to-ceiling windows, plunging the white cube into blackness.

The duo’s moniker SPACEFILLER is a reference to both their role as artists (one who fills space) and the mathematical model Conway’s Game of Life (a “spacefiller” is a pattern that wants to spread out indefinitely).
