Eness, an art and technology studio that has installed giant works of color-popping art structures in urban spaces around the world, is behind Atlanta’s latest immersive art exhibition opening in Woodruff Park on Feb. 13, just in time for Valentine’s Day.
The opening coincides with love day because the whimsical, inflated creatures featured in Eness’ installation, entitled “Stem by Stem — Alien Boy Gives Me Flowers,” hug gardens of flowers in their curved, multicolored arms. The creatures look vaguely like octopuses with only two arms, have adorable, illuminated bug eyes and skin covered in kimono-inspired patterns. As visitors move through the installation, the artwork reacts, triggering bursts of color, pulsating synth sounds and ambient bird calls.
