Bringing the concept of a circular economy to life via an immersive experience in collaboration with media artist Felipe VDDS.
The hexagon consists of an open platform that can be filled with a variety of themed objects (e.g. plants, waste materials). The structure is mounted, so viewers can experience the landscape at eye-level by placing their heads within the terrarium-like structure.
A complimentary 360° audio experience is then designed to reinforce the theme using built-in speakers on the side panels. What's more, the roof of the structure consists of a plate featuring a laser-cut Fibonacci sequence - a pattern that can be widely observed in nature and serves as a reminder of the connectedness between nature and circular systems.
Personal highlights:
-
Producing the audio installation:
-
Swapping circular textbooks for a circular saw and getting hands-on with building the wooden structure
-
Translating scientific papers on the 'Extinction of Experience' into an actual experience.
-
Securing funding and municipal support for the installation
-
Researching microbial markets and the hidden life of trees to eloquently convey nature's natural cycles
-
Executing branded exhibitions for local events and organizations (e.g. Steck Bosbaden Weekend, Grounded Fest, Duurzame Week 2021)
