Concept

Affection

Inspired by a sculpture made by Antonio Canova in the neo-renaissance period called Psyche Revived by Cupid's Kiss. I thought of and experimented on an installation. in the scene sculpted by Antonio Canova He depicts the moment where Cupid kisses his love Psyche back to life. My idea for my installation was to do the same. The would have to give the installation affection so it could come to life and return the favour.

The Idea that I had, The installation would do that by influencing the senses touch, sight and hearing. By letting the installation light up it can show that it's on and active. If I let the lights and the (breathing) sound pulse at a curtain rate it can bring the user in calm resting state. By adding heat we get users to relax by getting them to a thermal comfortable level (http://tinyurl.com/jql5nnu). The installation can be used in an exhibition where the environment can be designed to add on to the experience. But I also think it could be sold commercially.

Form

the shape of the installation that I had in mind would be a big fatboy with cushioned sleeves that de user could sit in. the user would put their arms in the sleeve and hug themselves to activate the installation.
