Overview

You Activate This Space is an interactive light and sound installation by Ansen Seale. Constructed of glass panels, LED lights and steel supports. 12 feet high x 146.5 feet long. In this piece, forty-two backlit panels react in response to the movement of the staff through the space. As people pass each panel, the work responds by changing color and then slowly fading back to the original color, in effect, leaving a trail behind the person walking. An audio component completes the experience by providing a quiet harmony of chime tones.

Goals

The goal of this project was to provide the staff of the hospital with a calming experince on their war to and from work. The environment is built into an elevated bridge that extends from the parking grage to the hospital. The title of the piece is meant to be a clear and unambiguous message, both in an immediate sense (the bridge space), and also to the hospital work experience as a whole. The staff makes the hospital come alive.

Process

This work was created as a collaboration between the board of the hospital, the architects, a team of electronic engineers, a team of glass experts, and an installation crew. In a sense, the collaboration continues because each person who enters the space activates it do come alive.

Additional Info

The Viewer becomes the Creator, riding a self-generated wave of calming energy--lifting them on their way to and from work. Collaboration is also celebrated. As people approach from opposite directions, they create a third color as their trails meet and intermingle.

The CODAworx Manifesto

  • Art matters. Attention to the details of our environment leads to love of place, which brings us to take responsibility for the spaces where we live and work. And by extension, the people with whom we live and work. And by extension, to our local communities, our cities, our nations, and our world.
  • We champion the role of artists in our society. We need artists to provide us with inspiration, creativity, and imagination, and to help us envision a better world.
  • Architects and designers know that remarkable design can change everything. They connect the dots across disciplines, collaborating with artists to make the world a more beautiful place. They are the ultimate patrons of the arts.
  • In the process, design professionals promote imagination and creativity, and through their commissions, make original art integral to and accessible in people's lives.
  • Art in our public and private spaces helps us fight ordinary buildings, ordinary streets, ordinary cities. We celebrate the extraordinary.
  • The architecture of our buildings and the design of our interiors affect our happiness and well-being. Each of us deserves a daily dose of inspiration.
"Leave good footprints." -Ellen Kochansky, artist
