Description
For Urban tech-saturated people who need to slow down, reflect, pause and be present, Elemental is an immersive public art installation that indulges the senses in order to bing people into the present.

Human beings experience the world with the five senses. Each sense differentiates the experience in its unique manner, leaving a memory trail behind that is catalogued for future reference. We are interested in the role that each sense plays in triggering and eliciting MEMORY as well as in the relationship between experiencing PRIMAL ELEMENTS OF NATURE and their triggered feelings of SECURITY and RELAXATION. How might we deliver relaxing experiences in the urban milieu that connect the visitor back with nature?
