Defining a New Urban Experience Through the Lens of Digital Craft
FUTUREFORMS

At its core, this project emerges from FUTUREFORMS' co-founder Jason Kelly Johnson’s mastery of digital craft—where computation becomes a language and fabrication a form of authorship.

These metals do not warp, fade, or deform under intense heat or shifting temperatures, making them ideal for places like El Paso, Texas with strong sun and seasonal extremes.

Weatherscape was envisioned as fundamentally playful—an open invitation to curiosity, much like a collection of petri dishes set out for experimentation.

By combining utility with aesthetic expression, shaded artworks like Weatherscape transform public spaces into inviting, social, and visually engaging environments that respond directly to the local climate.

More than a shade canopy, Weatherscape embodies the creative spirit of El Paso—playful, inventive, and full of energy. It becomes a place of reunion and reflection, where families and friends gather, and where movement is felt as much as seen.

Each element is a test site for natural phenomena: light bending and scattering, water rippling across surfaces, air shifting through perforations, reflections flickering in motion, refractions casting unexpected color.

Positioned at the intersection of art and architecture—particularly within the realm of public art—Weatherscape seeks not only to create a distinctive physical encounter for its visitors but also to shape a site’s visual identity and inspire community engagement.

METAXIS is the first solo exhibition of work from FUTUREFORMS. Over 20 models and representations of extraordinary artworks and installations rethink how we dream, design and build with one essential ambition: to create vibrant and meaningful objects that are dynamically intertwined with their sites.
