Shipsperience
What is needed to create the feeling of being on a ship?
While exploring microclimates and how they affect us we found a ship which had been drained. With the permission of the owner we experienced that even while the boat wasn’t on water we somehow had the sudle feeling of being on water when we were inside the ship. Our goal was to enhance this feeling as much as possible by creating associated impressions and simulations of movement. In a first step we created this installation on the ship. After that we tried to export the installation into the steril environment of our school at the Toni-Areal in Zürich.

With an oscillating light we created the visual simulation of the boat swaying. Through sound and the resulting vibration in the floor, the feeling of movement was complete. With a mixture of seaweed from the river nearby we created the sent of being at sea.
