‘Carriers’ is an interactive light sculpture based on a flock of birds taking flight from the ground into the sky.  The installation allows visitors to see their joys and hardships of the past two years (during COVID) translated into pulses of coloured light and sent out into the world by the birds.  The installation is intended to instill a sense of hope for its visitors.  It acknowledges the highs and lows we’ve gone through throughout the pandemic and creates something beautiful out of our experiences.

Multiple bird forms were connected to individually addressable LED lights. These lights were connected to a web site accessible through any device connected to the internet.  Visitors entered a text message which was converted into a unique sequence of colours and light pulses that were sent through the lighted birds into the sky.
