Biolumina

Biolumina emerges as a living entity, forging a symbiotic bond with those who interact with its presence. It dynamically reacts to the users’ movements, echoing their elegance through organic luminosity reminiscent of bioluminescent wonders in nature. This distinctive interplay transforms onlookers into active participants, assuming the roles of both conductors and admirers. Through this symbiotic connection, users wield the ability to shape and guide Biolumina's enchanting glow, akin to directing the movements of a living organism with their own hands.

Fabricated with fiber optic LEDs intricately arranged to mimic delicate patterns observed in nature, Biolumina extends as an embodiment of the user's creative impulse. The incorporation of fragmented mirrors enhances the immersive quality, reflecting and refracting the user's controlled illumination into a mesmerizing kaleidoscopic dance. Biolumina evolves into a dynamic, living canvas, mirroring the observer's gestures and offering an immersive journey into the captivating beauty of meticulously controlled chemical reactions.

Madeline's motivation behind Biolumina is twofold. Firstly, it seeks to empower users to explore their intrinsic connection with the natural world through an interactive and mesmerizing encounter. Secondly, it serves as an exploration of Madeline’s deep-rooted fascination with bioluminescence, nurtured by childhood experiences alongside the ocean. By granting control to the observer, the installation transcends into a shared experience, blurring the boundaries between observer and observed. Biolumina, functioning as a controlled specimen, prompts contemplation on the relationship between human agency and the captivating beauty inherent in the natural phenomena it emulates.
