Volunteer Oppurtunity

beneath a glowing ceiling veil of living light transforms an arch of the Stone Arch Bridge into a chamber that invites people to experience the bio luminescence that illuminates the night within this space. Glowing plankton inhabit a membrane of soft vessels filled with seawater. Together they form a liquid veil suspended within the arch. Conceived as an ambient site that is responsive to the presence of people who visit, the water in the soft vessels is animated by delicate vibrations as people enter and experience the chamber. There is a sense that the glowing light is responsive to people’s movement within the space and at the same time this
relationship is subtle, suggesting the emergence of a collaborative atmosphere that shifts with the flow of people.

We need volunteers to:

participate in the group lift of the suspended ceiling veil into place under the arch

assist with the transformation of the arch into a dark chamber with the addition of bamboo and tyvek panels

participate in the process of greeting people at the arch during the festival and ushering them in and out of the darkness of the chamber that we create for viewing the subtle light of bioluminescence

pre‐festival we are seeking help soldering – not complicated, but time consuming

post‐festival we are seeking help with the de‐installation
