Mirage announcement

Mirage

Katie Paterson and Zeller & Moye have been commissioned by Apple to create a public permanent artwork at the Apple Campus in Cupertino, USA. This public sculpture for the olive grove adjacent to the Visitor Center at Apple Park, has been created from cylinders of pure cast glass, made of sand collected from deserts across the Earth. Sand from subtropical deserts, coastal, rain-shadow, interior, mountainous, volcanic and fossilized deserts were melted into glass. Over four-hundred cast glass columns combine every desert on Earth into a wave-like form, mimicking a desert dune. Visitors can interact with the artwork, walking alongside and through it, where the glass subtly melts into the landscape, like a desert mirage. The artwork is open to the public.

The Future Library handover ceremony

The Future Library silent room is now open!

Last year’s handover ceremony was a very special event, a milestone for a visionary project: not only the annual handover took place, but this year three acclaimed authors were part of the ceremony, which included the opening of the manuscripts’ resting place, the silent room in the new public library Deichman Bjørvika. The silent room will be home to all of the manuscripts contributed to the project until their eventual publication in the year 2114. The room is designed by artist Katie Paterson and architects Atelier Oslo and Lund Hagem. Watch the 2022 handover film here.
