Like many visionaries, Mariko Mori combines the ancient with the futuristic in her fantastical sculptures. At Deitch Projects, Mori presents three new works, including the glowing 15-foot-tall Tom Na H-iu, inspired by Celtic funeral rituals, but created with intelligent LEDs connected to the Super Kamiokande neutrino observatory at the University of Tokyo. The orb-like monolith changes color as researchers on the other side of the world capture different varieties of the miniscule particles emitted by dying stars. Twenty-two ceramic stones surround a replica of an ancient vase inFlatstone, mimicking the space of a shrine from Japan's ancient Jomon civilization. Roundstone is a horizontally placed, luminescent orb, meant to evoke the Jomon-era practice of placing stones near the hearth to ensure a bountiful harvest.
