The Ocean Inside is based on my intensely personal experience of witnessing the devastating effects of climate change and other human-made environmental stresses on the coral reefs first-hand, because I grew up in the Caribbean. \n\nOn a large translucent projection veil from polyester voile, 4 meters wide and 2.45 m high, I have hand-printed a linocut pattern with reflecting mica, depicting a network of plankton as the web of life. Handmade patterns intersect and juxtapose the digital projection. Video projected on sheer fabric with a pattern of this quality acquires an animated character through the changing reflections of the mica and unique integration of pattern and projection. \n\nMy video footage presents beauty and degradation in the ocean, human impact on reefs and seashore, melded with images of my art. It serves to heighten awareness of climate change a\ufb00ecting the oceans, generate ecological literacy, re\ufb02ecting on the passage of time, human exceptionalism and connectedness of life. \n\nTo complement the soundtrack of natural recorded soundscapes and sound-effects, I have recorded waves of voices that speak 16 short statements in their native languages : Dutch, English, French, Greek, Japanese, Mandarin, Nahuatl, Papiamentoe, Polish, Russian, Shona, Spanish, Tagalog, Te Reo M\u00e3ori and Urdu.\n\nThe video is 15 minutes long and has audio spoken in 15 languages.","space":"A dark space is paramount.\n\n1.\tVideo projector and audio speakers\n2.\tDark room or space darkened by black-out fabric, to fit veil of 2.5 high x 4 meters wide. Throw distance from projector to veil approx 3-4 m\n3.\tHanging Requirements: \nThe material is very light and the best way to hang it is stretched between the walls, by\nthreading a steel aircraft-wire is through the top sleeve of the veil and anchoring it to metal hooks on the wall.","artists_proposal":null,"members":[],"lang":"en","status":"ok","video_link_password":null,"video_link":"https:\/\/youtu.be\/TVeF0DT3dG4","audio_link_password":null,"audio_link":null,"images_link_password":null,"images_link":null,"cellphone":null,"description":null,"estimated_budget":null,"complementary_info":null,"names":"Eveline Wilhelmina","surname":"Kolijn","email":"evelinekolijn@gmail.com","dni_type":"Other","dni":"148611-205","address":"508 Bearspaw village Ridge","city":"Calgary","nacionality":"Canadian","country_id":"41","birthdate":"1962-04-23T06:00:00.000Z","birthdate_2":"1962-04-23T06:00:00.000Z","telephone":"+1 4036810932","web":"www.evelinekolijn.com"}
