Created in collaboration with Will Donaldson,Waves In A Shell is a seashell-inspired wooden structure adorned with undulating light tubes that capture the natural beauty of rolling ocean waves. By engaging with brass capacitive touch sensors on a small scale model, viewers can influence the lighting patterns in real time, providing a mesmerizing interactive experience.
To protect the lights from potential water damage, programmable LED strips are encased within translucent rubber tubes, which are strategically positioned within the pre-cut notches of the interlocking frame. This frame, comprised of precision CNC machine-cut components, allows for convenient flat packing for transportation purposes. Notably, this installation has been showcased at numerous festival venues across British Columbia, illumining the environment and delivering joy to the public.
