JEM is an interactive public sculpture that senses your presence and responds with ever-changing music & light Via Eness.com
JEM
“Our most ambitious interactive public sculpture to date. JEM is here to unify people through a shared experience and we’re excited to see how people rest, dream and play in this rare space.”
Thirty two cascading arms brimming with light. JEM reacts to peoples’ movement with rhythmic sounds and visual delights. Powerfully responsive sensors guide people into a state of calm.
The work is a futuristic folly, a safe space that is relaxing, exciting and awe-inspiring at the same time. Its plush crochet beds provide a place to laze and absorb its radiant rays. JEM encourages people to raise their heads in awe and gently nudges lovers and strangers into each other’s company.
Being inside the work feels deeply contemplative, as all senses are focused on being in the present moment.
Our cross-disciplinary team came together to realise the notion of ‘metamorphosis’ into this unforgettable physical experience. JEM is at the heart of Flowstate, a vibrant, open-air pavilion and creative space on South Bank, Brisbane.
JEM is an welcoming beacon for locals and international visitors.
