Consisting of 7 large LED screens, the structure is made of aluminium frames designed by the artist, and a 35mm glass floor, that enables the visitor to enter andwalk through.
Pia MYrvoLD has presented new video works, in each presentation, in her exhibition ART AVATAR in Centre Pompidou in Paris, 2014-2015, she used the video work Rhythm, Texture and Colour Play II.

The Stargate is the first ring of the future project Broken Tunnel, built from 7 to 77 screens dependingon how many rings, and edited in complex digital mapping software, that gives the viewer inside a feeling of being inside a painting while it is being painted.
