The Beta Movement 是一个位于好莱坞星光大道上的大型临时摄影亭，邀请游客和洛杉矶人进入，体验自己的红地毯时刻。这个项目从著名的人行道上选择明星，并通过画廊投射出来，产生一系列充满电影引用的空间扭曲，涵盖超级英雄、超空间、催眠、邪恶巢穴和天体物理奇点等元素。
进入空间后，裸露的建筑施工质感揭示了幻觉的临时性质。游客穿过一个个空间，前往一个投影室，在那里视频和文字描述了所发生的形式程序。
以下是展览文本的内容：
The Beta Movement 通过最小的动作目标空间饱和度：一系列平行填充切片的重复序列和透视投影的视觉游戏。结果是一种可居住的绘画和一系列舞台设计框架。意义是通过持续时间、占据和电影般的愉悦感实现的。
随着干预的范围通过画廊的深度延伸至无限远处，客观化凝视受到挑战，物质化，并成为玩味冲击的实质。从一系列特权点开始，透视的虚空框架视图并倍增。占据每个框架，居住者被展示，成为一场心照不宣的红地毯瞬间的主体。我们都在想：“谁？我，欲望的对象？”但让我们坦率点。主体偶尔会倾向于客体化，就像享受被框架的画框制作者一样。
画廊位于好莱坞星光大道上。令人眼花缭乱的兴奋！就像人行道一样，该项目沉浸在自己的图标中。借鉴星星（但更尖锐且带有一丝威胁性），我们将其几何形状通过一系列框架展示出来。正面观看时，空间会变成图形，就像漫画书超级英雄中熟悉的“pow”；离轴观看时，空间的深度延伸成邪恶的催眠漩涡。但在内部，你是明星，参与超空间表演。
在这种情景下，空间被分割，建筑物被削弱。取而代之的是多个空洞，可居住的模因，致敬顽皮的文脉主义。咔嚓，你已经被标记了。

THE BETA MOVEMENT
Prominently sited on the Hollywood Walk-of-Fame, The Beta Movement acts as a grand-scale temporary photomaton, inviting tourists and Angelinos inside for their own red carpet moment. Stars are plucked from the famous sidewalk and projected through the gallery, producing a series of spatial distortions that are replete with filmic references to superheroes, hyperspace, hypnotism, evil lairs and astrophysical singularities.
Upon entry into the space, the rough qualities of the exposed construction reveal the temporary nature of the illusion. Cutting from one void to the next, visitors make their way to a projection room where video and text describe the formal procedures at play.
Following is the exhibition text:
The Beta Movement targets spatial saturation through minimal moves: a repeating sequence of parallel infill slices and an optical game of perspectival projection. The result is an inhabitable drawing and a series of scenographic frames. Meaning is achieved through duration, occupation, and the filmic pleasure of to-be-looked-at-ness.
With the extents of the intervention projected through the depth of the gallery toward infinity, the objectifying gaze is confronted, materialized, and rendered the substance of playful frissons. Starting from a series of privileged points, the perspectival voids frame views and multiply. Inhabiting each frame the occupant is on display, the subject of a tacitly fancied red carpet moment. We all blush at the thought: ’who me, the object of desire?’ But let’s be frank. The subject does on occasion gravitate toward objectification, like the framer who enjoys being framed.
The gallery is located on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. What dizzying excitement! Like the sidewalks, the project revels in its own iconography. Borrowing the star (but pointier and a hint more threatening) we launch its geometry through a series of frames. Viewed frontally, the space collapses into a graphic, the familiar “pow” of the comic book superhero; off axis, its depth extends into a villainous hypnotic swirl. But within, you are the star, complicit in a hyper-spatial performance.
In this scenario, space is fragmented and the architectural object undermined. In its place — multiple holes, inhabitable memes — in an ode to cheeky contextualism. Snap, you’ve been tagged.
