Proposal

Moon tide is a display that shows the different heights of tides that are formed from the moons gravitational pull.
Visually my shipping container is black on the inside and out, as I didn't want colour distracting or taking away the visual aspect that my display is about. The roof of my container is made of glass as well as the black wall. This is my initial display, showing the moon's positioning through the glass roof and height of the tide through the back glass wall. This is so the viewers can see and interpret for themselves the workings of gravity on the tides. My display is only open at night so you can gain the full effect of what the display is about. Towards the back of my container there is a small amount of information stating the different forms of tides. I chose to use minimal information as I wanted this exhibition to be more of a visual interpretation for viewers. I also feel by showing the display to be a visual interpretation allows a calming and relaxing feel inside the container. The room will be predominantly dark apart form a few lights along the side of the container slightly giving light to the walls and to the ocean. The mood of my exhibition is relaxing, therefore, I have incorporated the option of being able to sit on a bean bag and grab a blanket to cozy up. I want people to enter my container and feel calm through the subtle light and sound of waves so they can gain the full experience of viewing the moon tides and feel relaxed.
