See a massive snake sculpture inside the Oculus in NYC on Lunar New Year
www.timeout.com/newyork: The Lunar New Year is upon us, which means you'll be seeing snakes all over the city soon. But if you're feeling ophidiophobic (that's the phobia of snakes), don't worry: In the Chinese zodiac, snakes signify all good things, including wisdom and transformation.

To be fully transparent, when I read the title of this article I really thought this was going to be a virtual snake in an oculus headset, and I had absolutely no idea that there was a building in new york that was called the Oculus. I really thought there was some sort of virtual museum in New York where you put on a VR headset and see a bunch of 3D digital sculptures. But, after reading it, the real life sculpture is way more exciting than a virtual snake! I mean, who doesn't love a good Mobius strip inspired piece of art? It's such a good symbol for an infinite yet finite state of being. I also like the integration of projections that this snake allows with an interactive animation overlay. The snake really looks like it could start slithering through the building at any moment, and the negative space within the body of the snake gives it an interesting incorporeal nature.
