Materials: LED-Lights, aluminium channels, metal pipes, float switch

The project is a collaboration with Pekka Niittyvirta

An interactive site-specific light installation located at Taigh Chearsabhagh Arts Centre in North Uist, The Outer Hebrides, UK

By use of sensors, the installation interacts with the rising tidal changes; activating on high tide. The work provides a visual reference of future sea level rise. The installation explores the catastrophic impact of our relationship with nature and its long-term effects. The work provokes a dialogue on how the rising sea levels will affect coastal areas, its inhabitants and land usage in the future. This is specifically relevant in the low lying island archipelago of Uist in the Outer Hebrides off the west coast of Scotland, and in particular to Taigh Chearsabhagh Museum & Arts Centre in Lochmaddy where the installation is situated. The Centre cannot develop on its existing site due to predicted storm surge sea levels.

The project is supported by Arts Promotion Centre Finland
