In late 2023, while Load gallery was preparing its Barcelona opening with Species by Six N. Five, Ezequiel Pini was working on a commission for Jayaram Law, a leading legal firm relocating to the Miami Design District. The new headquarters were to feature an ambitious 12-metre-long digital screen showing Mirage, a video work by Pini, reflected in a modular table designed by Snarkitecture.
Snarkitecture is a New York–based design practice founded by Daniel Arsham and Alex Mustonen, renowned for creating environments and objects that reimagine familiar forms through shifts in material, scale, and function. Their work often introduces a sense of ambiguity — spaces appear both functional and sculptural, minimal yet playful — inviting viewers to reconsider how they experience the built environment.
Pini, known for his meticulously constructed poetic environments, rarely depicts people in his work. He argues that once a figure appears, the viewer’s attention shifts to how realistic it looks, breaking the sense of magic he aims for. Instead, his works often feature geometric forms — most notably a recurring red sphere — that act as protagonists within the compositions.
In Mirage, several planet-like spheres float above the surface of water before slowly submerging. The sequence loops, creating a quiet sense of movement between two states — air and liquid, suspension and immersion. The modular table by Snarkitecture, with edges that recall a coastline, extends the image physically, producing subtle reflections and a dialogue between digital and material volumes.

The installation was co-produced by Load gallery, which designed, manufactured, and installed the site-specific screen, conceived to serve a dual purpose: displaying digital art as well as content related to the firm’s activities. The result had to combine visual quality, technical performance, and adaptability to the space’s daily use.
Load’s screen achieved exceptional image precision thanks to its high resolution and bespoke calibration. Despite its monumental size (12.20 metres by 1.71 metres) and native 8K×2K resolution, it maintains a remarkably slim profile of 28.5 millimetres with an anodised black aluminium finish. It is also energy-efficient, consuming only 2,200 watts, and light in structure, making it easy to maintain and adaptable to architectural contexts.
Following the success of the installation, Load and Jayaram decided to expand the project by adding three additional screens and transforming the Miami office into a Load outpost in the United States. This model became the foundation for Load Editions — a new initiative that extends the gallery’s programming to temporary and permanent spaces worldwide, combining exhibition, production, and site-specific display of digital art.
The Miami Edition opened with an extended version of Bodyscapes, and its official inauguration will take place during Art Basel Miami Beach 2025.

In the meantime, Load Editions is accepting applications from venues interested in hosting the gallery’s programme. Drawing on our experience in LED technology and spatial design, we create environments that are both optimal for digital art and compatible with everyday use. The initiative invites anyone to take on the role of gallerist: Load provides the screens at heavily discounted rates, designs and supports the installation, curates exhibitions and provides content.
