Bottled Moments

The collaboration between the University of Sydney's students and Design Lab (Lake Macquarie City Arts, 2021a), it allows map MIMA to further be recognized as a place that deservedly to be checked out and visited. Last year, the team successfully launched "the Catenary", an interactive digital programmable lighting that will perform an illuminated artwork for all attendees. The visitors at Speers Point Park can enjoy illuminated artwork named "A Night in Lake Macquarie" (USYD Design Lab, 2021) in which each emotion will emit a different light show.

Followed by that there is the Cube, a 360-degree immersive projection as a way of welcoming visitors entering map MIMA. In the following project proposal, our team will conceptualize one concept each for the Cube and the Catenary for our main visitors at Speers Point Park to enjoy during their stay and make it memorable.

For the "Bottled Moments" project, the designers would like to symbolize human emotions as the sea. Without it being treated or given emotions to (bottle/message), it will become cold and dark. However, the moment we accept other people's emotions, things will start to get better, easier, livelier, and warmer. This includes the struggle that hopefully anything negative will soon pass and not stay with us.
