Non-Place: Light, Colour, Smell and Sound

New Moon by Caitlind r.c Brown & Wayne Garrett

Ive found some really amazing public art from Charles Petillon and Caitlind r.c Brown andWayne Garrett, really visually striking as well as being fun and dreamlike. My original idea was to create a light installation or illuminated sculpture but I've moved on to projection with the possibility of 3D mapping which is pretty exciting.

Heartbeats by Charles Petillon


I got thinking about this idea after my lecturer Paul told me about Snoezelen rooms, therapy rooms which use light, projection and aromatherapy to stimulate but not overwhelm the senses. I want to use the principles of relaxing and calming patients in the Snoezelen rooms in the train station environment to relax or stimulate commuters. 

I have also been looking at scent and art coming together on Odette Toilette's blog, she teamed up with art historian Christina Bradstreet to host a tour through the National Gallery pairing works of art with evocative perfumes which you can read about here.
