Eclipse is a digital immersive space that juxtaposes light and shadow: a paradox that, to me, really highlights the uncertainty of the information overload over the past year. The viewer is able to play hide-and-seek within the shadows created by the filters of the sheet that suspends above the virtual space. These patches of light and darkness very much mimic that feeling of safety and unease that has come with the COVID discourse.
Ideally, I would want this piece to take over the Rosenberg gallery. I’ve submitted renders of the space from certain angles. If chosen, I’d like to design a virtual experience for the audience where they can digitally walk within the space, as the sheet of circles spans the entire Rosenberg gallery, bathing the floor with the filtered shadows.
