Created for Expo Korea, the GS Caltex Pavilion was designed to take the form of an over-sized rice paddy fields with tall-illuminated glass blades swaying like grass in the wind. Users are invited to walk through the larger than life installation and interact with the grass by touching the blades and watching it change colours.
The size of the installation adds to a sense of wonder as guests wonder into this larger than life exhibit and experience a new perspective. I think the colour, lights and space of the installation plays into the intention of creating a sense of awe and wonder in the concrete jungle.

Out of Bounds is an interactive installation that allows its viewers to peer through walls to explore hidden areas, engaging in ‘behind-the-scenes’ experiences in the Museum using an “X-ray Torch”. Participants simply shine their Torch around the walls and they are able to view the scenes behind.
The intention of the exhibit plays on our inner child-life ability to want to be able to have super-powers like X-ray vision. Coupled with the set-up of the exhibit, it allows the viewers to tap onto their curiosity and explore with the X-ray torch.
