Reworld is a large-scale kinetic sculpture made of over 1,000 rotating lenses that refract the surrounding environment into dynamic, shifting images; turning cityscapes into living optical art.

Whatever Together worked with Seoul-based studio Kimchi and Chips to refine the mechanical systems that make the sculpture work. The studio consulted on material selection, fabrication methods, and assembly processes, helping integrate the structural framework with the electronics that drive each prism.

Reworld Type 1 debuted at the Seoul Biennale. Type 2 was exhibited at PMQ in Hong Kong for deTour 2024.
