TANQUE
DE MEDUSAS
LUGAR:

EQUIPO:
MARY LEE, PERLA CERNA Y DANIELA PORTILLO
UCM: DECANA JILL ROBBINS
Evento
performativo e interactivo con hinchables en el campus de la universidad.
Una
idea que surge de las estudiantes en el curso de ARTE EN VUELO en la UCM.
Un
tanque lleno de medusas donde el público pudiera entrar. Construcción de numerosas medusas que después
haríamos flotar con helio. El tanque: un cubo de 15 pies por cada lado. Todo construido en material ligero. Plástico
termosellado y texturado con calor. Desde fuera, el público verías algunas
siluetas y podría intuir o imaginar, pero solo entrando dentro del tanque
descubriría la potencia de la obra.
Inclemencias
del tiempo:
Lo
que en un principio podría ser un evento interesante y novedoso en el campus,
se convirtió en algo mucho más complejo gracias a la insistente participación
del viento.
Sin
embargo, lo que podría haber sido una seria dificultad, a tal extremos de tener
que suspender el evento, se convirtió en un inesperado aliado. Decidimos
flexibilizar nuestra idea previa y adaptarla a la nueva circunstancia.
El
resultado fue sin duda muy intenso, con tanque y medusas en constante
movimiento.
En
la imágenes podéis ver esta loca aventura.

TITLE: JELLYFISH TANK

An interactive performance event with inflatables was shown on the campus of the university.
A students’ idea that emerges in the course ART IN FLIGHT at the UCM. It was a tank full of jellyfish where the public could enter. Numerous jellyfish were made that we would later float with helium. The tank: a 15-foot cube on each side. All was built in lightweight material. Plastic heat-sealed and textured. From the outside, the audience would see some silhouettes and could imagine what was happening inside, but only by entering the tank would they discover the power of the art work.
Weather changes:
What could at first be an interesting and novel event on campus, became much more complex thanks to the insistent participation of the wind.
However, what could have been a serious difficulty, to such extremes of having to suspend the event, became an unexpected ally. We decided to relax our previous idea and adapt it to the new circumstance.
The result was undoubtedly very intense, with tank and jellyfish in constant movement.
In the images you can see this crazy adventure.
