Iceberg, Right Ahead
For the Migration Addicts Exhibition in Venice I propose to create a large scale inflated rubber iceberg that expands and contracts as if "breathing，" sometimes illuminated blue. The iceberg is variable dimensions and can be a closed sculptural mass or constructed to be entered into. The breathing motion is created through a custom electronic device that controls the blowers that inflates the piece. In this way rhythm the iceberg breaths is decided by sound inputs. These sounds will be underwater hydrophone recordings from various water ways around and in Venice. The sounds will be fed into the Blower Control Device (BCD) and trigger various breathing patterns at different decibels, such as hyperventilation versus long, slow, sleeplike breath. At extreme decibels the iceberg will be illuminated in blue from inside.
