GAN JIAN | CORNERSTONE.INTEG
Hofburg
Cornerstone.INTEG is a large-scale immersive audiovisual installation that creates a closed perceptual system. A vertical beam of light forms the central axis — structurally, symbolically and autonomously — where technology, power and the sacred converge. The floor projection displays abstracted industrial landscapes, urban grids and data-driven geometries. From a bird’s-eye perspective, scale and narrative context dissolve; what remains are structure, density and systemic logic — a contemporary “God’s view”. Monumental symmetry and reduced forms evoke sublimity. Those who enter are aligned, adjusted and simultaneously absorbed into the system through light, sound and space. Immersion thus becomes a ritualised act of orientation and perception.
