Calm currents ~
Calm currents is an immersive and transformative experience where visitors can feel a moment of pause and let go of worry.
Concept Statement
A new media art project which aims to create a safe space for participants to tap into their own intuitive flow and have the opportunity to connect with their unique energy through sound, movement, and light.
We provide a calming environment, where visitors can take a moment to pause and release anxiety with the use of vibrations as a method of sound therapy, to deepen the meditative state, reduce anxiety and calm the nervous system. The water reflections surrounding you create a soothing visual experience, which can help you focus attention inward to feel more grounded. As the platform lights up with your movement you will perhaps feel seen by your own self in the moment.
Light, water, sound, and vibrations
Light is known to have a powerful impact on human emotions, and it is widely used in various relaxation techniques to create a soothing effect. We have incorporated light with the intuitive flow here as it his helps emotions move through the body and release endorphins, relieving stress. It also induces relaxation, encourages deep breathing, and improves nervous system functioning. By incorporating movement into the installation, we hope to add to the therapeutic element of the project and create a flow that goes hand in hand with the flow of water.The element of water has a calming effect on the mind and body. The sound of water creates a feeling of tranquility and flow, and its vibrations have a transformative effect. It also allows a calming effect by increasing the flow of oxygen to the brain which improves mood and helps with anxiety. The sound of water creates white noise, which provides multiple psychological benefits.
