The third installation in the Re:Generation series, showing evaporation and condensation in the water cycle. Water has been transformed into clouds representing the digital, virtual realm as well as our collective imagination. Re:Generation was created with the hope of inspiring the integration of technology and art in service of a more resilient and sustainable future for generations to come.
Re:Generation is a series of installations inspired by the water cycle and the flow of human movement through the ITC building. At the entrance, each person is welcomed as a drop of water beginning its journey to the ocean. The individual is joined in the lobby by the larger currents of the collective, depicted by metal waves woven with cultural patterns that represent the demographics of WOU and the larger Monmouth community. As a person travels into the stairwells, the waves rise up into clouds, showing how we carry the cultural wealth of our past into the future realm of ideas and innovation.
