Liquid Forest is comprised of 3 whimsical, jellyfish-inspired creatures measuring 12 feet tall by 15 feet in diameter. Each one is a freestanding, hands-on spinning sculptural experience. During the day, people dance, whirl & flow through the family of jellies as lacy, sunlit shadows wash over them as well as make use of a free project app called 'ilumiscope' to view the hidden zoetrope artwork. At night, the radically illuminated jellies pulse and morph to create an artful 'bio-luminescent' playground! Each sculpture contains over 10,000 LEDs concealed in the recycled plastic rods and the strobe light bubbles activate the mirrored zoetrope art disks when the jellies spin!
