Synopsis

Metropolitan Triangle Gardenis an experimental 3D animation, in which carefully preserved classical sculptures from the museum participate in a self-destructive performance triggered by software glitches, distortions, and misused simulation, turning the gallery space into a madhouse theatre with both classical beauty and digital chaos. The animation is an attempt to connect the sense of space, history, turmoil, and transformation to the idea of technological sublime.
