We
all want to be god somewhere down our lives. Some days we feel we are invincible
when we contract the luck virus! Some days we feel stronger and assume we can
beat everyone in physicality. Some days we have ideas that seem to be the perfect
solution for global problems. It is this aura of invincibility, superiority,
intelligence and overt achievement that this sculpture was inspired by. Throughout
human history the representation of a supreme being, in whichever culture, had
always been illustrated with a glowing halo or aurora around his head or body.
It seems to define an illuminated presence different to all mere mortals around
them. Now with Halo you can have this aura too, briefly!
A
floor structure with an array of circular grooves are located in a grid like
pattern. Within each groove is a high luminosity LED light tube that provides
vertical illumination. Around the exhibition room will be smoke machines that
generate a mist like presence in the enclosure. When the visitor steps onto the
floor plate, pressure sensors will light the appropriate circle. This is where
the functionality of the mist comes in as the light source from the circular
groove structure will illuminate the surrounding area, causing the smoke to absorb
light and create a tubular light column. As the visitor walks forward, the
light column will follow them around the grid. With this you can ask your mates
to take all sorts of Instagrams capturing your moment of “illuminated
transcendence”! You can even dance on the floor panel and do a spiritual disco
for others to watch in awe or degradation! Halo is an interactive sculpture
that makes you the center of the universe and for all the audience watching you
are truly a being from another world!!!
