Description
A multidimensional interactive installation. Grounded in non-sectarian practices of meditation where the mind and body are conditioned to achieve sensitivity and awareness the project serves to foster spatial and environmental understanding and repose.
A Paul Ryan video artwork of ocean waves is projected onto a platform bathing the visitors in abstract shower of light and water. An array of concealed LED lights are activated by occupants and pulse at the rate of breath at rest to induce a calming and meditative state while the flowing video promotes universal equanimity of the earth's aquatic rhythms.
The platforms and seats are constructed of CNC-milled DuPont corian.
