"A Dive In" Installation

I was the designer, master electrician, and programmer for this installation we did in a small conference room. Lead by Nick and Delaney, the lighting seniors, the purpose behind the sound and lighting design sequence is to illustrate the contrast between human interference and peace on the ocean floor. When the humans are at rest at night - illustrated by low lighting and a pearly moon, the ocean floor is serene with the creatures lit with little shadow. Additionally, the sound playing in the background is one of peace. However, as the day breaks, shown by rays of sun reflecting into the ocean floor, and humans rise, disruption begins. A slow wave of sterile white light begins before the room turns completely white. This is meant to re-establish to the viewer that even with all this beauty, the room is really just full of plastic. The purpose behind this message it to make it clear that the beautiful ocean is truly filled with plastic. Will Davis added sound design to the exhibition for a great overall effect.
