The Rebirth of Technology is a 30 feet tall sculpture that sits at the entrance of the new Headquarters of Hewlett Packard Enterprise. The piece is the result of months of collaboration between multiple Texan companies; it uses locally sourced materials to honor HPE’s commitment to Texas and celebrate the exciting move of their headquarters to the area. Ender’s piece features a large stainless steel geometric sphere that rests on top of multiple limestone polygonal roots; its core has dozens of reflective stainless steel beams, each carrying a strip of light set to fluctuate in luminosity to mimic the feeling of breathing.

“I am humbled to have been given this unique opportunity by HPE’s CEO Antonio Neri to create this beautiful piece for the new Hewlett Packard Enterprise Headquarters; the sculpture represents a balance between Art, Technology and Nature” said artist Ender Martos, “Creating it has been one of the hardest challenges of my artistic career. It involved months of collaboration with numerous talented Texans, such as the architect firm Metalab, among others. Every aspect of this sculpture’s design has been carefully thought out; it is my goal that people feel speechless when they see it.”

Rebirth of Technology is the biggest of many other pieces by Texan Artists that have been purchased by HPE for their new headquarters. The new beautifully designed 440,00 square feet campus also features work from artists such as savant painter Patrick Fagerberg. In celebration of the opening of HPE’s campus, Ender Martos released a short film about the piece’s creation, available at www.rebirthoftechnology.com
