Jeppe Hein's Distance is a site-specific installation that consists of a
dynamic indoor roller coaster track for a series of white, plastic balls.
When a visitor enters the space, a sensor reacts and releases a ball that is
set in motion and runs the length of the track, passing loops, sharp curves
and other dynamic sections within the circuit. Hein will also create a new
outdoor experiential artwork on the Museum grounds for the inaugural
exhibition in 100 Acres: The Virginia B. Fairbanks Art & Nature Park. These
works will encourage the public to consider the dynamic relationship between
the work of one artist engaging the architectural, spatial, and navigational
experiences of interior and exterior sites.
