The Animus Collective describes their “1000 Pieces” project which debuts at Figment.

The three goals of “1000 Pieces” are: 1) to be a fully interactive and evolving beautiful public sculpture on New York City’s Governors Island, in the season long sculpture garden; 2) to bring a large-scale artwork to Figment, the free, annual, participatory arts festival; and 3) to work with two New York City public schools to manifest integral elements of the sculpture.
