Inspiration

Our inspiration for this project was James Turell, a contemporary artist whose ethereal light displays convey an otherworldly sense of being at once very present and in another location.  Turell's pieces displace the viewer by daring him or her to slow down and examine their surroundings, while second guessing the nature of the place around them.   We wanted our users to be impacted by this ambient device as if they were viewing a Turell piece; at once very present in their current surroundings and also increasingly aware that there was a world outside of their office that was beckoning.
