ILLUMINATED | AUDIOVISUAL | IMMERSIVE | MEDITATIVE | EXPERIMENTAL

Service: the act of helping or doing work for others. Providing assistance. Fulfilling a public need. A ceremony or ritual of observance. Service is a gift to the curious. A creation that provides a journey to those who choose to step inside. Entering this illuminated cube envelops visitors with a sense of calm as swirls of purple light move across its floor. This soothing ambience is juxtaposed with the ominous presence of a red button. The urge to push it becomes undeniably irresistible.  Service embodies two opposing forces: an immediate sense of tranquility paired with an urge to disrupt it. It presents an opportunity to take control. The nagging itch and human impulse to create chaos by the simple press of a button. Once inside, resisting this urge becomes impossible. Upon giving in, viewers are treated to a six minute audio-visual journey through a landscape of both serenity and chaos.  Lighting, music, programming and fabrication by: Benjamin Guerrette
