The South Lake Union gallery has a Death Star–like object you can enter.
When you enter MadArt, you unwittingly enter a planetary system. The gallery is currently occupied by three spheres of vastly different sizes that all seem to be frozen in mid-orbit around each other. It’s easy for you, a puny human, to get sucked into each orb’s gravitational pull. And you should give in.
All three spheres were created by Taiji Miyasaka, an architecture professor at Washington State University’s School of Design + Construction, as part of his show at MadArt, Circum·ambience. Miyasaka, who emphasized to me that he’s not an artist but an architect (and the distinction seems important), is most interested in the complexity of how light moves—exists—in a space.
