ART, SCIENCE, ACTION
GIVING LIGHT on COMMON ISSUES
We live in a quickly changing world and it is all harder to have a clear view and understanding of it. EYES-is the tool for communication on many levels. We bring people together and deliver eye opening combinations of art, science and action. We deliver shared experiences through participation, workshops and lectures. In the project we activate local artist , scientists and citizens to take part in the happening by giving them similar EYES-outfits to wear and be part of the EYES-team.
TO SEE AND BE SEEN
ATTRACTION, action AND REACTION
EYES-collective gives a visual attraction already in the installing-performance of the physical art pieces. Wearing white workercostumes and head protection, arriwing in an all white van and toable basketcrane is part of the performance. The equipment for the installing will be rented on place in the chosen location.
The self illuminated artwork lights up in the dark. The lightweight, air-filled, durable and re-usable balloons can be installed on trees and buildings without harming them and even placed on watersurface. Animated visuals can be also placed on screens and even giant projections. EYES-takes hold of large themes and areas through easily approachable experience and sympathetic message for people of all ages and nationalities.
