philosophy: create form from chaos

• strategically connect those dots

akt creative

AKT Creative offers moments of joy. Launched in New York City in the 1990s, the first installation brought genuine joy to it’s visitors.

“Yellow” – was a February 1998 installation in a corner sunlit loft, in New York City’s East Village.  The entire space – floors, walls, 14’ ceilings – was dipped in deep, warm, glowing yellow.  When the sun shone through the windows, everything in the space was transformed:  the room, the hall, the adjacent lofted studios, the people. The experience evoked pure, spontaneous joy. 

• joyful & accessible

• freeform & flowing

• playful & soothing

• static & ever-changing
