Project Details
Set aboard an Antarctic expedition vessel, this interactive installation invites travelers to engage in a sensory and digital dialogue, pre-visiting the profound impact of human footprints on the continent’s fragile ecosystem.
Tools Used
Maya, Touchdesigner, Lasercut, Illustrator
Antarctica is turning green.
Driven by industrialization, rapid climate change is accelerating ice melt and triggering a catastrophic decline in biodiversity.
Therefore,
I designed an installation to provoke the urgent awareness of the crisis.
Concept / Ideation
A network of interactive spaces in cruise hubs, designed to engage Antarctic travelers before their journey begins.
Antarctic pre-departure harbor
Carousel-like interactive installation
Exhibition housed on a vessel
At the entrance, visitors are drawn from the entrance toward a rotating installation of penguin skeletons suspended beneath an ice-like canopy.
As visitors approach the installation, the system detects the number of bodies and responds by amplifying moss density and growth patterns through real-time image processing,
The corridor walls feature ice-fragment textures. An embedded screen provides educational content on Antarctic ecosystems through interactive games and quizzes.
Moss is transformed to particles, visualizing the invisible environmental variable
Camera captures the number of visitors
Bodily perception as cognitive feedback
Consciousness is formed through embodied experience. I translate environmental issues into mechanisms that can be perceived through the body, triggered through action, and reinforced through systemic feedback.
Branding Design
I use a penguin skeleton as my logo to represent the structural vulnerability of Antarctic wildlife.
The penguin-bone carousel represents Antarctica as a lost paradise once a thriving habitat for wildlife now defined by irreversible ecological fragility.
I constructed the frame of the carousel using acrylic and plywood.
The distorted skeletons symbolize habitat compression caused by human-induced climate change.
As glaciers retreat, penguin territories shrink and fragment.
The twisted forms embody this spatial violence, making abstract environmental pressure tangible.
