As It Is Cracking

An interactive installation where a wall is designed to crack over the course of one day; with lights and video simulating the change of daylight in real time.

AS IT IS CRACKING

An interactive light art installation situated in a seemingly ordinary, empty, white room. One of the walls in the room is designed to crack over the course of one day. As the wall is cracking, lights and video are used to create an illusion of the ever-changing natural light seeping in through the cracks. Whenever a visitor comes up close to the wall, it triggers striking flashes of white light made to simulate lightning and suddenly interrupt the experience of blissful daylight. The piece is made to depict the sense of yearning for nature and engage people's innate emotional connection to it.
