Unity

“Unity” for Lightpool Festival 2024 – World Premiere

Artist:  James Fox -Dappled Studio

The artwork themed 'Unity' immerses viewers in a captivating exploration of human connection and digital expression. Through the interplay of dynamic LED lights and spatial exploration, this piece resolves as you move around or pass it, showing two dancers merging into one. As viewers engage with the piece, they are prompted to reflect on the importance of physical presence and genuine connection in an increasingly digital world.

Visitor Experience:

Upon approaching the artwork, you are greeted with two dancers side by side, falling in and out of phase. The structures around them represent their own worlds. Light will be washed and directed to create moving silhouettes. Initially, the individuals will appear to be separated from each other, dancing and moving. As you approach the front, the two people will begin to interconnect, creating a painting of light that shows these two worlds colliding. From the rear side of the installation, the piece will become more painterly as you see the light wash on the slates. The content cycle will loop continuously, allowing different scenes to emerge.
