Bubble Machine (Building a Dream)
Interaction Installation
2016 Jun
Process: when experiencers approach the machine, the machine starts up and blows bubbles into the display case. The display case bubbles rapidly grow in number. After the experiencer inserts a coin, the display case top opens and the bubbles are now blown outside the case.
Motivation: Dreams and reality are like flip sides of the same plank. Once the plank is perforated the dream can be realized. For the children of impoverished families, poverty is the plank obstructing their dreams. Creating this dream bubble machine allows experiencers, while donating to help impoverished children, to simultaneously appreciate the process whereby bubbles break through a planar surface and fly into the air. This furnishes moral food for thought with respect to affording everyone the freedom to let their dreams fly.
Special feature: The bubbles created by the bubble machine are quite unusual. Creating my own bubble mixture, I developed a solution creating bubbles that do not easily burst. They last much longer on the walls of the display case than usual and they do not automatically burst when landing on human hands.
Thank you for viewing
