i Light Marina Bay - Inspirations (Mimosa)

1:38 PM  , , , ,  

Mimosa 

  • By Jason Bruges Studio (United Kingdom) 
  • Location : Marina Bay City Gallery (A7 on map)
Mimosa is an interactive artwork displaying behaviour that mimics responsive plant systems. The piece was inspired by the Mimosa family of plants, which change kinetically to suit their environmental conditions. 


Due to its advanced technology and sophisticated electronics, Mimosa is encased in a glass casing. Wonder of wonders, the infrared heat from human touch can still be detected through the glass walls! 

A friendly Jason with his ready smile for visitors...

His light studio used the slim form of individual organic light-emitting diodes (OLED) to represent the delicate light petals of flowers, which appear to dance with its petals opening and closing in response to visitors’ hand movements.


This installation presents a perfect combination of art and technology, where the most innovative lighting technology - OLED - is integrated into a dynamic installation that reacts to people’s hand motions, forming a magical experience.

Seen in the dark, one is reminded of the wonder of light-emitting seeds in Avatar...
