"zones of flow (iii)": a Paper and Light-based Immersive Water Environment

“zones of flow (iii)” is a photo-sensitive installation that investigates the fluid and changing connections between people, sea and land. It addresses the instantaneous but sometimes asynchronous connectivity between things as they move, are placed or displacedin their environments. The artwork brings origami structures, electronics and audiovisual media together to create an immersive cogitative environment. A video projection depicting water surfaces is mapped onto a 2.5m paper-boat. Underneath, arrays of light sensors receive waves of information and send signals to small paper-boats scattered across the floor. The flotilla of small paper-boats is activated and becomes a changing water surface where non-linear patterns emerge over time.
