Sci-fi
Hot Tub - Walker
& Bromwich
Sci
Fi Hot Tub will consist of a hot tub island to cocoon a number
of participants in warmth and comfort whilst floating through sublime
and potentially hostile environments. The contrast between this ‘comfort
zone’ and the great expanse of nature will encourage debate between
the users in an isolated and non-hierarchical context and enable them
to ponder on the issues brought up by Panacea, increasing their intellectual
and physical wellbeing.
Walker
& Bromwich developed a prototype for Sci-fi Hot Tub
during an artist’s residency at Kielder Art and Architecture Centre.
‘Kielder Waters’ is the largest artificial lake and forest
in Europe. The project will be filmed to create a video installation work
for the gallery. Sci-fi Hot Tub will act as the viewing
platform for the video works allowing the viewers to bathe in warm water
while experiencing two large-scale video projections.
