This week I had a review with James, and he stated that I need to focus my idea more and have a set goal and specific message I am aiming to get across in this installation. It left me with a lot of ideas and thoughts that I have worked on and come up with a finalised idea and plan.

The whole Installation 

Focus: Just change one thing. (Saving the planet from global warming ‘Water, Wind’)

An entrance room:

The entrance room will have interactive installations so people can feel part of the installation and see changes and how they will help. There will be musical turbines playing the Harry Potter theme tune. The theme tune is airy and is going to be used to create an emotion, the music is airy and feels as thought it travels in the wind. The unknown………

There will also be a wind turbine game that is created through the participants blowing into a fan that will spin and power a boat. Creating a boat race, across the river.

Installation: Two separate rooms;

Room 1:

This room will show the Planet if nobody changes anything, it will be in the format of a video that is mapped around the room. The video will start of with black and white text around the room stating dates, times and facts about global warming.  DATE: 2036 : The video will then begin and it will show ice caps melting in the artic, it will then move to a seaside town “Cleethorpes, Barton upon Humber” (via a globe move)  and it will show the sea levels rising, and demolishing the humber bridge, flowing down streets and the video will end with the participants in the room stood in a ‘street’ as the water comes gushing down and the room will feel as if it is slowly filling with water. While the room will get colder and colder.

Room 2:

This room will be the complete opposite of the room the participants have juts been in, it will start of with quotes as if people changed one thing in 2017. it is now 2036, we are in a field full of turbines, beautiful sunny day, the seaside towns are thriving. But there are recycling boxes all over the towns. The Sea is clean, under water footage of the sea life thriving. Artic full of ice caps, Ending in a field peaceful. End with the Message just one change, its down to you.

The end of the installation will be a machine that shows an ice cap floating on the sea, the ice cap will start to melt. As the ice starts to melt a message will appear above the QR code scanner. “Start your first change” The participant will scan the QR code and the water will drip back up to the ice cap and re-freeze. The participant will be taken to a message stating

“thank you for helping to save the planet in your first step, it is now down to you, Spread the word. Thank you “

Who is this installation aimed at? The installation is aimed at everyone as this is a problem that is going to affect everyone on this planet. Weather we like to think about that or not we all need to take the blame and make the changes. I feel that possibly people in the age range of 21 – 50 maybe more subjective to this as they are in that range where they either live with children/ teenagers who could all do with being educated on the harm being caused to the planet and that changes need to be made. But also the young adults that maybe going to university, getting there own home or starting there own families. Hitting the next generation when they are starting there adult lives before they fully get into habit would be best hit. As once you start a habit its hard to change.
