ocean of waves (view from entrance)
2013
latex weather balloons, light, water, radio frequencies, wood, electronics, modified overhead projectors
dimensions of the room: 78 feet x 56 feet x 24 feet
Created for the 2013 Tieton Mini Maker Faire at the Mighty Tieton Warehouse in Tieton, Washington.
Light is filtered through moving water and projected onto weather balloons inflated to 17 and 7 feet in diameter. The disturbances in the water are caused by speakers vibrating to different radio frequencies. The large balloon depicts the movement created by a dead-air channel on the shortwave frequency. The smaller balloon's radio is set to a channel on the FM dial between a classic rock station and a Latin music station. As weather conditions change and people enter and leave the room, one of the stations comes more into focus than the other.
