Flight of Colors

SEA SHOW

Sea Show - No Vacancy Miami Beach

Sea Show appears as a colorful luminic sculpture installed on the wall but then it suddenly morphs. The colored light patterns on the sides begin blending with the images that appear in the seemingly concealed TV monitor in the center, immediately shifting the viewer’s sensorial experience, colored by abstraction, animation and story telling.

Sea Show borrows its name from the popular annual event Air & Sea Show, giving it a whimsical spin and posing critical questions around the environment’s role in our lives and our voracious consumption of it. Is there a parallel between our ingestion of digital screen content and our depletion of natural resources?

I created the first iteration of this piece last year, titled Flight of Colors and it was displayed at the Coral Springs Museum as part of a group exhibit titled ‘Color + Light + Space’. The second iteration utilizes the same sculpture but replaced the video the viewer will see in the TV monitor.

The video piece explores elements of water, color and light using digital animation, spreading out from the centre of the sculpture, at times blending with light patterns on each side, at times starkly contrasting them.
