Electrical Edens is an architectural light installation series that visualises our perception of place through interactive, colourful experiences. As someone who has always lacked a feeling of being able to make a change, this series is inspired by the concept of human presence and its influence on surroundings, this series allows viewers to experience their presence and decisions causing colours not possible from others. Mirrored being my first constructed piece in the series is a glance into how it would feel to experience these installations.
Mirrored is inspired by the idea of the work mirroring the colours you produce back to you; however, this piece aims to reflect what is on the inside of you rather than the outside. Mirrored, alike the whole series, samples viewers specific body temperature and voice pitch converting them into their own harmony of colours. The four installations currently designed in the series range from an intimate experience to a full-scale room that encapsulates a group of a people, conceptually they all possess their own unique colours and sub-meanings.
The series concept was influenced by artists popular in The Light and Space Art Movement (1960’s-1970’s) that focused on using light as a medium in artworks such as James Turrell. Submerging viewers in a personal visual symphony, Electrical Edens draws from the concept of sensory engagement, where colours shift and blend in response to human interaction. It challenges the conventional boundaries of art, inviting active participation and fostering unique connections between individuals and the piece. What sets Electrical Edens apart is its ability to transform a static space into a living canvas that adapts and evolves, echoing the dynamic nature of our environment
