Brooklyn-based design studio\u00a0Young Projects<\/strong>\u00a0has been announced as this year’s winner\u00a0of the\u00a0Times Square Alliance Valentine Heart Design<\/a>\u00a0competition for their elaborate heart-shaped sculpture. The sculpture, titled ‘Match Maker’,\u00a0<\/strong>is an interactive installation consisting of a complex structure surrounded by the twelve zodiac signs at different points. The sculpture appears as a symmetrical heart when viewed from some angles, while it appears as tangled and\u00a0perplexing when viewed from other perspectives. When the viewers peer through the\u00a0colorful, interwoven periscopes positioned at their zodiac sign, they are able to get glimpses of\u00a0four most ideal astrological mates, offering potential love encounters.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Match Maker<\/strong> was constructed by Young Projects in collaboration with fabricator\u00a0Kammetal<\/a>, and was funded by\u00a0Times Square Arts<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Van Alen Institute<\/a>.\u00a0The 2014 Valentine Heart will be located at Father Duffy Square, between 46th and 47th Streets from 6th February until 11th March 2014.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
