Decorating the ceiling of the Pacific Canada Pavilion gallery at the Vancouver Aquarium, Vancouver, is a beautiful piece of splendid art. In order to explore the mysteries of the underwater, the jelly swarm has been created.
Adding a glamorous touch to the overhead ceiling, a combination of 94 lights have been put together to create the stupendous effect in the pavilion. Made by designers Alex Beim and Joseph Wu as a part of the project by Vancouver based designer company, Tangible Interaction, the miniature lights exude a magnetism which would draw you in the moment you set eyes on them.
Each of the individual lighting has been laser cut, fixed with Tyvek and hand folded further to provide the immaculate cuts and designs. The hand made origami is what makes the light stand out even more. These origami lights enclose within them colorful LED’s adding a sparkle to the extensive design. Further, the LED modules have been suspended from reflective aluminum structures, making the effect of the lighting all the more colorful, vibrant and joyful.
Imitating the concept of underwater jellyfishes, the project broadly wanted to explore the mysteries of the deep seas. Celebrating the idea of ‘luminescence’, the whole display proudly depicts the bold use of colors and how the jellyfish emit a deep glow when disturbed. Based on the same lines, the jelly swarm also has been programmed in a similar manner. When disturbed by any of the touring guests, the jellies tend to respond in generative luminescent gestures. The display would take your breath away and leave you stunned for days altogether, making you wonder how such a brilliant creation ever took place.
Dotting the ceiling of the Pavilion, the 94 units of the Jelly swarm bathe the whole place in beautiful subtle colors and lend a beaming concept to the surroundings. Beauty at its best, I must say.
