Doug Aitken is a contemporary multimedia artist known for his bold sculptures and works that explore the relationship between evolution and ecology. Aitken often creates “living artworks,” that combine nature and technology, building installations that evolve through both environmental and artistic intervention. Earth Plane, 2015 is a sprawling sculpture that uses LED to light a large marbled plane. The work showcases the dichotomy between nature and technology but shows how, when working together, they can create beauty.
