Slash Objects presented “My Astral Mission,” an immersive environment exploring the cosmic intersection of music and materiality. Architect Arielle Assouline-Lichten debuted the X Deck, a site for listening and sonic connection. Through mirror-polished metals and cinematic light, the installation investigated how physical objects anchored profound sensory experiences in space.
Within the historic, high-ceilinged expanse of a SoHo loft, Slash Objects presented “My Astral Mission,” an immersive installation centered on the debut of the X Deck. The exhibition explored the connection between the physical environment and the act of listening, transforming the gallery into a vessel for both light and sound.
At the heart of the installation was the X Series, a collection that operated at the intersection of "Glam Minimalism" and architectural rigor. The X Deck, a dedicated site for DJ equipment and records, functioned as a social instrument—a piece of furniture conceived as condensed architecture. By crossing mirror-finished stainless steel with high-polish brass, the work investigated a liquid, monolithic materiality. These reflective surfaces did not merely occupy space; they pulled the surrounding environment into their own geometry, creating a tonal vibration that evolved with the viewer’s movement.
“My Astral Mission” framed the object as a mediator for human connection. In an increasingly digital world, the installation asserted the necessity of the tangible. It proposed that the furniture we inhabit could heighten our sensory reality, providing a physical anchor for the ephemeral experience of music. In the cinematic atmosphere of the loft, the X Deck became a site of transit, grounding the cosmic and the ethereal into a functional, sculptural form.
The exhibition was an inquiry into how materials meet, balance, and interact to create a new, unified logic. It was a dialogue of reflections—a vision of design that was at once precisely engineered and deeply poetic. The space brought together the industrial heritage of New York and a future-facing sonic landscape, where the act of listening was elevated through the precision of form.
