Testing Light

Status 2.0 is an art installation using colour and light, to represent in the physical environment, the emotions expressed on the Internet by the users of web 2.0 sites.

The web 2.0 movement has developed through user generated content and social networking. Social and personal information is freely exchanged and communicated by the users of these sites, and this information is constantly updated and accessed. 

The accounts of user’s lives are shared, updated, and communicated though web 2.0 websites such a Twitter and Facebook.

 

The combination of digital, analogue and organic materials express the emotions through a physical display. The aim is to transform the emotion expressed in a remote digital environment into a physical, immediate and aesthetic installation.
