Luminale 2012 Frankfurt – Osmo by Loop.pH
1a) Light and enclose space installation
Summary:
“Osmo was first inflated below the A13 flyover for Light Night Canning Town in London curated by The Brick Box for the 2014 theme of ‘The Fire and the Stars’, centred on the ancient tradition amongst many communities of gazing into flames and up at the stars, whilst telling stories and freeing our creativity.
Visitors were invited to step into a monumental silver sphere with a projected universe held within its interior made from reflective silver mylar – a NASA space material.
For many inhabitants living in dense urban areas, the chance to gaze upon the night sky is near impossible with tall buildings and light pollution obscuring the view. The design team used a map of the constellations to chart nearly 3000 stars and planets to re-create the cosmos.”

2a) Light reflections and sounds installation
b) compare and contrast the artworks and discuss the differences and the similarities in the use of time in each artwork
Differences:
| Osmo | Forest of Light |
| Enclosed area | Not enclosed |
| No sound | Sound affects the movement |
| the installation moves naturally | Intentional movements |
| Viewers can sit and watch | Viewers have to walk around |
Similarities:
| Osmo | Forest of Light |
| Both use light |
| Not much movement is needed to interact |
| Calming and not intense |
How will this affect the time?
The slow process changes of the light make the audience observe it and this takes time.
Because it is not intense, viewers have time to reflect and think of what the artist wants to convey.
Thus the audience can slowly appreciate the installation.
