ABILITY FEST IS A MUSIC FESTIVAL FOR SUPPORTING PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES, WHERE THEY CAN COME AND MIX WITH FRIENDS TO GREAT MUSIC ACTS. IT WAS AN HONOUR TO CONTRIBUTE WORK FOR SUCH A GREAT INITIATE AND EVENT.
MIRROR ARC INSTALLATION IS AN IMMERSIVE LARGE ART INSTALLATION FEATURING 5 ARCHES, RANGING FROM 7METER WIDE TO 3METER WIDE. ALL THE ARCHES HAVE A MIRROR FINISH SURFACE ON ONE SIDE OF EACH ARC, FACING THE WALK WAY FROM EITHER ENTRANCE OR EXIT DIRECTION, THE MIDDLE ARC HAS DOUBLE SIDED MIRROR. THE MIRRORS ARE REFLECTING THE SURROUNDING AREA DAYTIME, CREATING A SITE SPECIFIC INSTALLATION THAT FEELS ALIVE AND PLAYFUL.
NIGHT TIME THIS SCULPTURAL INSTALLATION IS LIT UP USING NEON FLEX STRIP LIGHTING WHICH IS PROGRAMMED TO A COMPUTER WHERE THE COLOURS, RHYTHM AND LIGHTING AMBIENCE IS CREATED. THIS ALLOWS FOR FLEXIBLE AESTHETIC WHERE EACH EVENT, CAN HAVE A DIFFERENT APPEARANCE AND EXPERIENCE. FOR ABILITY FEST WE REFERENCED THE GRAPHIC DESIGN COLOURS OF THE EVENT AND ALSO THE TYPE OF AUDIENCE TO ALIGN WITH THE REST OF THE AESTHETIC.
THE MIRROR ARC WAS ALL USED FOR ANOTHER EVENT WITH UNTITLED GROUP - CLAPTON WHERE IT HAD A GOLD AND RED COLOUR SCHEME AND MUCH FASTER RHYTHM WHEN LIT UP USING THE NEON FLEX STRIP LIGHTING.
