Description

Reconocidamente, Röyi
es la primera estructura articulada producida en Latinoamérica. Kosice interconecta
ocho elementos modulares con tuercas de mariposa propiciando su manipulación
por el observador-convertido en-participante. Mediante interacción táctil directa,
se convierte en una estructura dinámica en constante transformación. La obra esencialmente
dejaría de existir si no hubiera interacción. El título Röyi es una juguetona invención cuya rareza subraya la mera espontaneidad
que el acto creativo estimula.
