About

Beauty is an ever present part of nature; the organic movement of the tide and the precision of spider's webs are but two in a litany of masterful works that nature has to offer. Like the duality of nature Psyphozoa was born of the juxtaposition of water and desert, organic build and imposed structure, man and nature. The name Psyphozoa is a play on the classification of jellyfish, Scyphozoa, and this organism is where we found inspiration.

For this project we make use of the organic nature of light through water with the addition of a steel structure and electronically created water caustics. We are enabling this creature to sense what is around it, so that it might come alive and respond to stimuli. However, one of the central tenets of this project is that, as with nature, interactions with participants help create and guide how it responds, but never control it. We hope that participants who interact do just that, interact with it, and come away from the project with a renewed sense of the beauty and duality of nature.
