One of my dream offices to go to is the Google Headquarters in Mountain View. Based on social media posts (some of which are probably PR of course), it seems to be pretty well-designed and has lots of instagrammable and tiktok-worthy spaces and features, not to mention all that free food and perks that employees supposedly enjoy inside the HQ. But even if youre just outside or about to enter the HQ at the Googleplex, you can already see some amazing installations to represent a universe of infinite possibilities which is what Google stands for.Designer: Emmanuelle MoureauxTokyo-based architect, artist, and designer Emmanuelle Moureaux created a series of three artworks called Mirage that are placed at the entrance of the Google HQ. Its a 60 meter long installation in a three-dimensional grid with 100 vibrant colors representing joy, diversity, and unity. They are designed to look like theyre floating and depending on where youre looking at it, you get a different perspective with its ever-shifting interplay. During daytime, the colors give off rhythmic patterns to enhance the places architectural landscape while at night, the seemingly floating zeroes create a mirage-like effect. The orientation of the zeros are carefully spaced out according to the characteristics of each entrance where the installations are placed. As you walk around the different areas, these overlapping lines of zeroes seem to appear and disappear so it creates an illusion of infinite expressions. The name Googleplex itself plays around with zeroes, representing a void in its shape and therefore symbolizing the endless possibilities that can come out of it. This is also part of the designers 100 colors installation series as she believes color is universal, borderless, and infinite. Placing these art installations in the entrances also means that they are thresholds that can bridge together the physical and digital realms, the latter of which is Googles domain. Mirage is a nice art piece to visit and take pictures with as you visit Googleplex and the Google HQ itself.
