The artwork, titled “Hi Test,” was created by James Turrell in 1996. It is a part of the Light and Space art movement, classified within the installation genre, and belongs to the Magnatron Series.
The artwork showcases an enigmatic visual experience, characterized by a simple yet profound arrangement. It features a seemingly minimalistic setting, with a rectangular blue shape that appears to float on a smooth, beige-toned background. To the left of the piece, a modest table casts a shadow, emphasizing the interactions between light, color, and space. Turrell’s work exemplifies his exploration of perception and the nature of light, inviting viewers to consider the interplay of light and constructed environments.
