EnLighting Forest

The inspirations form my work of art comes from Jeanne-Claude’s Gates project in central park. The idea behind my project was to create a work of art that would create consciousness and inspire people when it’s being admired.

The Audience for my proposed work of art would be people running, or walking around a park. This could be either people jogging, people walking their dogs, or people that’s just wondering around the park.

The location I have chosen for my project would be the ladybird lake.

This is a place I feel really connected and familiarized with. Has a great flow of people, so in this place the impact of my project would higher, providing me with a higher level of satisfaction.

For my project I’ll use modern outdoor lighting system. Aside from it I would design a modern lighting chair that would be connected to the lighting system that will control all the lighting for the park. For this project I would not be working with recycled material or craving carving some source of structure. Everything will come from manufacturers and I will only install these objects around the park. Although it will still be a work of art because it will send a meaning and will interact with its surroundings.

All the parts or lights I will be installing around the park will be composed of all sources of landscape lighting and this special chair I will be creating that will send messages to the public. Aside from that I will be installing solar panels all around the park so this work of art could be self-sustainable. .

The plan is to illuminate the park so that at nights it creates this atmosphere of an electric hunted forest. Aside from that, I would install this shinny jelly bubble in which people can sit and kids could play with them. At the button part of these bubbles I will install a small stock ticket displays that will provide with inspiring messages.

A few Examples of these messages would be:

Improvement: You vs. You

"The will to win means nothing without the will to prepare."

"Running is the greatest metaphor for life, because you get out of it what you put into it."

"Whether you believe you can or believe you can't, you're probably right."
-Henry Ford
