That feeling of looming water is central to Studio Roosegaarde’s installation, Waterlicht, which made its U.S. debut this week at Columbia University. Viewers stand amidst a sea of ethereal fog that slowly rises to meet blue LED projections that undulate above viewers’ heads. The effect gives the sense of being underwater.

Climate change. How do some people lack an understanding of how important this topic is. Well, the thing is most people understand its importance but we are still left wondering what can we do to actually affect a more positive outcome??? Sometimes people don’t realize that they need to become apart of the political movement and advocate for new policies to lower carbon emissions. being “green” is not the only action we need to take. I love that art can be used to bring attention to these problems. I love this installation and how they are really trying to show their community that things need to change! This installation looks really cool and has some really amazing components and concepts. Another interesting thing is how people interpret the art differently and get a different meaning of every aspect of the installation. “wondered if the LED projections were based on climate projections for Columbia’s Manhattanville campus. No, but the fact that we were even talking about it is kind of the point (and also betrays that I hang out with some nerdy-ass people).”
