I have been looking into images and media clips that will inspire me in the way of how I could create an installation that will make people feel something. I couldn’t find much in the way of video footage, however I eventually found a couple of documentaries that relate to global warming. The documentaries also gave me some knowledge on how people are starting to change there lives to deal with the future prospect.
These documentaries gave me the idea to create a affective installation I may be best of combining wind and global warming as a focal point of the idea. Rather than focusing solely on Wind it may be beneficial to focus on Global warming and highlight each section .
Looking at these clips, images and a couple of installations I found, they made me think about interactive stages in installations. If I wont my viewers to really connect with the idea maybe I need to include something physical that they can use and feel part of the insulation.
Orphic Wind Van – Video
This installation I really like, I love the idea of combining turbines that are at a smaller size rather than life size. Giving the installation a feel of human power over the turbines. This is a great interactive installation idea as the viewers could cause the wind to power the turbines and the music would be there aim. I like this installation idea and will be keeping it in mind when I think of interactive ideas.
Denmark is Riding the Winds of Change
Denmark is ever rising to be the greenest nation, it has worked hard and sacrificed a lot already to become this way. I love how the children in Denmark are involved and shown this way of life from a young age. Teaching of green energy is key in Denmark and I think by looking at this documentary and researching gDenmark children grown up with a better knowledge of the effects the planet than most children. Showing that they are happier in life may be a key skill to making people understand the installation making them think there life will be better is they are greener.
Musical Laser Forests
I love this installation!, the effect of the lasers and the music being created by the public and the look of amazement in there faces when they look up and see what they are creating. This is a creative and interactive installation piece and I would love to one day create something like this however I feel I will not be able to do something as big as this for this project or in my degree however I have included it in my blog as it is something that has affected my view on this project.
Clean Energy: New Japanese turbines
I started to look into new energy and how, people are producing new and up-to date ideas of how green energy can be produced. I decided to look into this research to see how the planet is trying to change as this is also a part of the installation that would be important state how we are trying to move forward but things are not actually being put in place all around the world.
After looking at all of these as inspirations I have decided to focus on the possible creation of interactive installations. musical turbines, blowing games and videos. That will all been the final installation, however the focus for this project will be the video.
