The Museum of Modern Art announces Light: Rafaël Rozendaal, an immersive digital artwork, on view from November 16, 2024 through Spring 2025 on the Hyundai Card Digital Wall in MoMA’s Agnes Gund Garden Lobby. This installation presents a selection of Rozendaal’s vibrant animated works, each sampled for two to three minutes. Each work originates as a storyboard sketched on paper, which is then translated into code of only a few kilobytes (the exhibition’s total file size is 135 KB). The resulting final form is an autonomous website powered by that algorithm, generating the animation in real time. Light: Rafaël Rozendaal is organized by Paola Antonelli, Senior Curator, Department of Architecture and Design, and Director, Research and Development, and Amanda Forment, Curatorial Assistant, Department of Architecture and Design.
