Brief Description: 

The ANTI- EQUILIBRIUM PAVILION interactively allows the experimenter to explore the diversity of representation and range of scale of aggression. The uniquely dynamic inverted cube kaleidocycle component is a ring of six tetrahedra that turn inward and outward on itself through a system of fixed hinges. The cyclical movement of the kaleidocycle and the range of open and closed shapes mimics the transitory patterns of polar emotion. Utilizing the kaleidocycle, a component that naturally thrives individually, as a structural aggregator will allow the experimenters to create an action with one kaleidocycle that has a reaction in another. By manipulating the part, the whole will be affected.
