Increments Studio | Now & Then (2024) | Light art installation

Now & Then   2024

Light • sound • haze

Upon entry, viewers are faced with two shimmering squares of light. These luminous hues compare the outside temperature at the installation's location between two dates—the current day in real-time and a recording from 10 years ago.

The hues shift with the fluctuating outdoor temperature, illustrating the weather's changeable nature. The contrast in colour between the two sheets of light invites visitors to reflect on the temperature increase over time at their exact location.

Light • heat-sensitive motion sensors

An interactive and dynamic installation encourages visitors to evaluate their impact on the environment.

As visitors explore the space, the environment appears to change, shifting their perspective. The warmest colour appears at each visitor's location and slowly fades behind them, returning to its original state. This constant recovery reveals the impact of visitors' actions. As the number of visitors increases, the more the installation struggles to recover.

Disparity  2024

Light • sound • haze

The visitor encounters two monoliths positioned in space each displaying contrasting colour temperatures representing the warmest and coolest points on Earth at any given time.

The imbalance between these extreme opposites provides a polarising visualisation of the state of our global climate. As the visitor navigates the space the gap between these two temperatures widens further emphasising the growing disparity in global temperatures.

Increments Studio | Tundra | Light art installation

Tundra  2022

Light • heat-sensitive motion sensors

An interactive and atmospheric light installation which causes us to re-consider how we engage with our surroundings, both individually and as a collective.

Gradients of fluorescent, chromatic light react to the movement of passers-by, changing the colours’ temperature, much like a weather system. This colour shift stimulates a moment of reflection and reminds us that our environment is constantly being altered by our actions.

Increments Studio | Still | Light art installation

Still   2022

Light • sound • haze

An immersive audio-visual installation exploring how the digital revolution has hindered our access to, and feelings of, raw instinctive emotion and connection.

The work attempts to draw the line between the physical and meta-physical, defining space and boundaries with seemingly solid sheets of light.
