Went down to the Perth waterfront at Elizabeth Quey to checkout the interactive art installation Ephemeral Oceanic created by design firm Atelier Sisu.
In a public space, interactive art, I think is the way to go and in that goal, they succeeded for the most part. Although think it would have been cooler if you could actually be enveloped by the bubbles but can see all the people management and public liability issues you would have with that. Maybe even some sensors so that there was more meaningful interaction with the public like the lighting would change depending on how people moved around it or or like those plasma balls if people touched the inflated balls.
At first wasn't really thinking I could get much visually out of the installation which was the case for the straight photography. I think the transiency of the bubbles would have worked better visually during the day but started to mess around with a longer shutter speed, wider aperture and camera motion.
Started to feel a bit 2001 a space odysseys when it starts to get trippy at the end.
