One of Coral Gables most popular and beloved parks, Balboa Plaza, has just received a Coral Carpet to accompany the park's massive stone bench. The addition marks the completion of MG Developer's outdoor “living room” setting. 

The project was initiated in 2018 by the Miami based company MG Developer as a contribution to the city’s Art in Public Places program. MG Developer’s most recent addition to the park coincides with its ongoing mission to cement Miami and the surrounding area as one of the foremost living destinations in Florida, inside and out. 

The Coral Carpet, which spans the length of the 30-foot stone bench behind it, is an inlaid, terrazzo piece that depicts an intricate floral pattern representative of the city’s diverse and rich culture. The technique used in creating this installation was originally developed in Italy and reflects Coral Gables’ fascination with Mediterranean-style architecture. 

Both the terrazzo carpet and the stone bench are situated under one of Balboa Plaza’s massive banyan trees, making these recent additions the perfect place to lounge and take in the scenery with friends and family. 

For MG Developers, the Balboa Plaza project is the latest effort in filling the Coral Gables and Miami area with functional, aesthetically pleasing developments that serve to enrich the city for residents and visitors alike. For those who enjoy a sunny day at the park, Balboa Plaza’s latest addition is a must-see.

The media-arts group Jonpasang, founded by renowned contemporary artists Jin-Yo Mok, Sookyun Yang, Earl Park, Jin-Wook Yea, and Sang-Wook Yu, created a hugely buzzed-about art instillation based on a very modern concept; a pixel, the unit of digital imagery. The piece was created for the Hyundai Motor Group Exhibition Pavilion at the 2012 World's Fair, titled the Yeosu Expo, in Korea.

The Seoul-based media group's Hyper-Matrix installation looks at first glance to be comprised of three blank, white walls. However, the three walls are in fact composed of thousands of individual cubic units which form moving images. Each lightweight cubic unit measures one square foot; its movement is generated by the stepper motors to which it is affixed on a grid-like steel scaffolding.

In its description of the installation, the Architect's Newspaper said; "Mimicking the pixelated digital image, each white cube extends and retracts in sync to form tangible displays and animations revealed through shade and shadow. While in the room, the sounds of the moving cubes also help engage audiences with the experience of witnessing waves of concentric circles expand across the screen. The surfaces themselves may also serve as projection screens when the cubes are resting on a uniform vertical plane."

The installation ran from May 12 until August 12, but art critics around the world are still buzzing so the installation is sure to make a reappearance in the near future. In the meantime, check out this video of the installation.
