"Prana" Exhibition
The Invisible Dog
This event has ended.
Installation artist Chris Klapper has partnered with electrical engineer Jen Lusker to create an interactive sculptural light installation.
Prana consists of approximately 2000 hand-cast sphere-like shapes, spanning a 20-foot wall. Using light as its medium, Prana translates various breathing responses to express the subtle interactions of life in its physical form. The installation utilizes a network of sensors by digital techniques and programmed processes to convey changes in the physical environment and interactions encountered with its audience. During this exchange, breath creates an intimate relationship between the viewer and the piece. Prana, Sanskrit for “breath,” is responsible for the beating of the heart and bringing life to every cell throughout the circulatory system. The project becomes a statement on the interconnectedness of all things in nature, and in life. It is a sculptural installation constructed into an organic whole. The community and Prana mutually engage in a physical conversation through both art and technology.
