Cave Urchins are a set of 7 interactive light sculptures designed for the underground volcanic caves on site at Jeju LAF. The tropical seas and incredible mollusks served as artistic inspiration in determining what other fantastic creatures could possibly exist within Jeju's underground volcanic ecosystem. Each urchin has a small sensor to detect motion nearby. It reflects its awareness of your presence by flickering the glowing lights within its dozens of protruding orbs. Similar to the cuttlefish, the Cave Urchin pulses and sweeps its body colors. Rich opalescent blues, maroons and oranges sometimes indicate it is alarmed by disturbances nearby.

Permanent, completed July 2018.
