Artnet Magazine reviews:
“It really would not be Miami Art Week without Locust Projects staging a spectacle. This year, the lauded experimental art space has managed to outdo itself. Executive Director Lorie Mertes hand-selected Miami-based Colombian artist Alba Triana to stage her first solo show in the city amidst Miami Art Week. Triana’s immersive sound and light installations typically explore unseen relationships between nature and humans.”

“Forty small hand-crafted setups pairing copper coils with spherical pendulums dot all four 16-foot-tall walls of Locust Projects’ 625-square-foot gallery. Each coil generates a magnetic field, which is randomly activated by digital microcontrollers positioned at the base of each wall, Zoom out, and they all start to dance together... Sound emanates from the thrum of these coils kicking on, scoring the mesmerizing dance of these miniature metal balls.”
