We Are Water

Smell + temperature + 72-sq.m interactive floor system + engineered sound, to contemplate our connection to nature.

How do we express water in our body and its relationship to landscapes in a visceral way?

Rather than re-creating a literal naturalistic environment (desert, cold desert, jungle) to explain a complex scientific principle, we took an experimental interactive approach.

3 sensory chambers contrasted in smell, temperature, and humidity to stimulate the senses and trigger visitor contemplation. The sound design and smell provoked physical engagement with interactive animated graphics to help visitors grasp the scientific ideas.
