I am a bit late to the party but want to talk to you about something I found from Miami Art Week. It is what it says it is. If you are in the Miami and Miami Beach area in December each year, you will find a huge art festival, that according to their website:
“During Miami Art Week each year, Miami and Miami Beach are the center of the art world and host over 20 art fairs, over 1,200 galleries and thousands of artists.”
So a great place to be as an artist, art lover or collector of art. Across my feed recently I found out about a beach maze that was made for the event in 2023 and I wanted to share it with you in case you may have missed it also:

Let’s take a look at the beach maze in this video:
I love how the color of the walls of the maze perfectly match the color of the sand as if this is naturally part of the landscape. And of course any maze or labyrinth that has a large center is always appreciated as it can be used for rest/meditation or a yoga class like in the video above. The maze was set-up on the beach in front of the Faena Hotel on Miami Beach, one of the nicest hotels in the entire country ! I don’t think I can afford to walk near the hotel.
Back to the maze. Sebastian Errazuriz, the artist of the piece, is NYC based so I probably passed him on the street or rode with him on the subway a few times. I suggest you check out his website and his many types of public art. I personally am drawn to his kinetic cabinets section which features modern geometric furniture that features a lot of movement. That is the kind of things I like.
Interesting to readers of this blog would be a project he is working on about the emergence of AI, called AI MAZE: imagining artificial intelligence. I like that he has used a QR code and made it into a maze. A great idea !
Happy Mazing !
