Metamorphosis
The e-Campus is a world-class
network of large screen displays. BigDog Interactive was commissioned
to create the inaugural installation for e-Campus, a unique
infrastructure of displays and applications for large-screens.
“Metamorphosis” was created in collaboration with Welfare
State International artists Tom Lloyd, Dan Fox and Hannah Fox.
Throughout July 2005 the
Cruck Barn at the Lanternhouse in Cumbria was transformed. A screen
completely filled one wall of the blacked-out barn, showing video
images of coppiced oaks, the woodland floor carpeted with bluebells. Up
and down the beams of the barn, hundreds of paper butterflies fluttered
in the breeze. Metamorphosis, explores the idea that human actions can
irrevocably alter the patterns of nature. Visitors could sit and watch
the woods, and listen to the bird song, but those who moved around the
space triggered less peaceful sounds and images.
