Proposal video for the Art Installation Dichroic Wade. Video and Photography Jen Seevinck, Video Production Peter Chan, Music Buukwerm Musik

Dichroic Wade (2016) is an interactive artwork by Jen Seevinck installed at The Works gallery in San Jose as part of a curated and juried show for the international premiere conference on ACM Computer Human Interaction CHI, where it won an award! An exhibition catalogue and a CHI proceedings publication accompany the installation.

Dichroic Wade is the most recent outcome in the Light Works body of work (more below) and once again renders local weather data into concrete physical light. Dichroic Wade differs from predecessor Light Waves in sensing ranges of audience proximity (approach) to the work. Turbulence and shimmering can result from this combined visualisation. The artist gratefully acknowledges funding assistance from QUT and CHI, coding assistance from Lachlan Currie, video production by Peter Chan and sound by Buukwerm musik.

Light Waves

The Light Waves 2016 interactive art system was installed at the Asia Pacific Design Library at Southbank, Brisbane early 2016. It developed from Light Currents and this installation supported the evaluation of participant experience of the work, in order to inform the final work Dichroic Wade.

Light Currents

The Light Currents 2015 interactive art system was installed at Brisbane Powerhouse Theatre on the Brisbane River, coming out of a 'Made from Light' artist residency project run there. It is a site specific installation whose concept responds to the Brisbane river outside the theatre, seeking to effect the visual experience of light on the water.
