About Dreamscape Multymedia-ynstallaasje

Dreamscape is in multymedia-ynstallaasje dy't pleatst is yn de Bohemian Garden fan K11 Musea yn Hongkong. De sculpturale foarm liket boppe de grûn te swevjen en lit mei geregelde tuskenskoften miస releaseje. Fan ôfstân sjoen liket Dreamscape op in ferljochte wite skulp dy't út in wolk opreist. Fan tichteby rêste trije bôgen op seis slanke poatsjes dy't licht de grûn reitsje. Yn it binnenste folgje mear as 250 ferljochte belslampen in tiidsprogramma foar de ferljochting. De materialen binne waarbestindich, duorsum en licht, en de konstruksje kin útinoar helle wurde foar transport en wer opnij yninoar set wurde.

Unique Properties: Dreamscape is a voluptuous sculptural form that appears to float above the K11 MUSEA Bohemian Garden. It regularly disperses mist, thus, from afar, it appears as an illuminated white shell emerges from a billowing cloud, tempting guests to engage in a relaxing urban misty moment. Up close, three arches are anchored onto six feet that touch the ground lightly, emphasizing an ephemeral shared experience. Once inside, the 250 illuminated bubble lamps are timed to evoke dreaming in a sleeping cloud.
Dimensions & Packaging: H2600 x W3500 x D3500 (mm)

Production Technology: All materials had to be weatherproof, durable and light for outdoor display. The structure had to be designed for easy disassembly, transportation and reassembly. Placement of the 250+ illuminated bubbles were carefully calibrated so that they are ergonomically friendly while visually appealing. The light programme and wring of bubbles posed another challenge as it had to give the illusion of a sleeping cloud, and work in line with the mist performance that happens every 20 minutes.
Design Challenge: Dreamscape serves all ages, so we had to consider how different groups react. Children tend to run underneath, while adults usually prefer to stand and look at it. It had to be safe, and accessible to wheelchairs and walkers. It is open day and night, so we have focused on how different lighting combined with mist can create dissimilar, but mesmerizing experiences. Positioning each bubbles lamp had to be both visually pleasing and ergonomically safe.
Inspiration: Dreamscape, is a portmanteau word, blending and combining ‘dream’ and ‘escape’ to encapsulate our commitment to design a pause for busy minds by moving visitors from reality into ambiguity. We hope our playful multi-sensory sculptural design will make visitors dream in another dimension, and that this is more important than ever with the current limits on travel - we want people to imagine and dream the impossible. Dreamscape represents an exciting utopia and freedom, available to all.
Project Duration: The installation has been on display since September 2021 until March 2022 in K11 MUSEA, Victoria Dockside, Hong Kong. It will then be transported to other K11 premises around China.
