40 blocks of ice suspended on kinetic winches melting throughout the installation trigger sounds and notes through individual water drops.
Aurora of light created from refraction of laser beams mapped to each moving ice block
Aurora is an immersive installation. Using water as its core material it presents water in different states - sublime, scarce, abundant, living and vital to all life. 40 blocks of ice suspended on kinetic winches melting throughout the installation trigger sounds and notes through individual water drops. An Aurora of lights was created from the refraction of laser beams mapped to each moving ice block. Originally made for the iconic Toxteth Reservoir in Liverpool, built in 1845 to hold and supply 2 million gallons of water to the people of Liverpool.
Aurora was made by Invisible Flock in collaboration with Miebi Sikoki & Rudi Nurhandi (Digital Nativ, Indonesia), Babitha George & Romit Raj (Quicksand, India), Abshar Platisza (Indonesia), Azusa Ono (Japan/UK), Bagus Pandega (Indonesia), Etza Meisyara (Indonesia), James Hamilton (UK) and Simon Fletcher (UK).
