Lumin, Living Installation - Ahmet Said Kaplan

Bioluminescence beings, in order to communicate with their surroundings, use the light that they spread. Among those beings, one of the most special ones, found only in the caves of New Zealand and the source of inspiration to the work, is the “Arachnocampa Luminosa”. Lumin Experience enables the visitors, while carrying them into the caves, to physically interact with the setting that is digitally simulated. Without containing a static video recorded or produced, this installation, just like Arachnocampa Luminosa producing light instantly without getting its power from any light source, lids by itself when interacted with the visitor. When the visitor leaves the room and if there is no interaction, it stops spreading light.
Opening at December 6th on Friday, In Lumin Living Installation experience, everything happens and progresses simultaneously with the interaction of visitors and does not repeat itself.
