Duality

Duality is a pair of monolithic structures attempting to attract viewers from a distance, inviting them to walk through the immersive sculpture and be transported to another state of mind. When visitors pass through this gate, they will be able to trigger movements of light and color, transforming their world temporarily. This piece encourages participants to continue on their path with an altered perspective and heightened sense of wonder.

Portland Winter Light Proposal

My proposal is to install an immersive sculpture that viewers can walk through while being surrounded by giant walls of interactive LED lights.The PVC structures will be lined with individually addressable LED lights to create giant LED matrix displays that will interact with the viewer as they pass by using Passive Infrared (PIR) sensors. The entire structure can be battery powered, allowing for daily recharging.
