Outdoor sculptures have long captivated audiences, but some are specifically designed to be viewed through volumetric displays, creating immersive 3D experiences. Among the most famous is "Cloud Gate" (also known as "The Bean") in Chicago, which reflects and distorts the skyline in a way that feels almost holographic when viewed from certain angles. Another notable example is "The Weather Project" by Olafur Eliasson at Tate Modern, where mirrored ceilings and artificial fog create a volumetric illusion of the sun.
In Japan, teamLab's digital art installations, such as "Borderless," use volumetric projections to transform physical sculptures into dynamic, ever-changing artworks. Similarly, Antony Gormley's "Quantum Cloud" in London appears as a shimmering 3D form when viewed from a distance, thanks to its intricate steel framework.
These sculptures push the boundaries of public art by integrating volumetric technology, offering viewers a unique, multi-dimensional experience. Whether through mirrors, light, or digital projections, they redefine how we interact with outdoor art.
