H Y P E R W E L L Physical and Hydrotherapy Center in Desert Hot Springs, California
HYPERWELL explores the metaphysical theories of object-oriented ontology (ooo). Specifically hyperobjects, which are so massively distributed in time and space as to transcend spatiotemporal specificity, such as global warming, styrofoam, and radioactive plutonium. The ‘Giant Rock’ in Landers, CA is abstracted with a series of geometric operations to create a center for healing in the Coachella Valley.
