Megan Geckler, a Los-Angeles based artist has created an architectural installation, flowing with bright colours and creativeness at the Wexner Centre for the Arts in Columbus, Ohio. Created from interlacing strips of flagging tape, the work called “spread the ashes of the colours” hover above and surrounds visitors within the institution’s café and lobby areas. The piece was originally seen as being completely white, but due to its complexity, but Geckler decided to use a CMYK colour process, keeping reference to basic art techniques.

An interview between Megan Geckler and Laura Lisbon, a professor in Ohio state's department of art:

LL: is it fair to say that digital tools are essential to your work? it has been said that was true for deconstructive architects to be able to visualize and produce the radical fragmentation of their spaces. What do you gain - or lose - with the use of 3D rendering tools?

MG: I gain the ability to see a space and really understand the way that the architecture was conceived, by building the space in a 3D modelling program, we essentially rebuild the structure from start to finish, and so we get to know a lot of privileged information that might slip by someone who hasn't worked directly with the blueprints. We are able to show curators what to expect, which is helpful in terms of submitting proposals, with this level of preliminary work and preparation, the installation could essentially become like a sol lewitt piece that's simply a set of instructions. But I like having my hand in the work and climbing all over the lifts and ladders. The loss involves the inability to render something like flagging tape, a wafer-thin material. We can't render translucency of the material, so we can have only a rough idea of how the piece will look. Furthermore, when 'viewing' space on the program, it is difficult to get the human experience, camera’s and models are stand-ins for the real thing, nothing beats walking through a space and experiencing it with your own eyes.
