Sensorium
Beginning in the Fall of 2024, Destiny and Tehya came together with the goal to create an art installation that expands the perspective and understanding of their audience. They originally targeted specific topics in neurodiversity. Through discussions, planning, and research, they decided to use sculpture and videography. Mentors such as Anna Tsouhlarakis and Renee Boos, and faculty such as Annie Margaret helped Destiny and Tehya build their goals and understanding of story and impact.
Sensorium focuses on the universal sensory experience of the bathroom. Every person in the audience can relate, but every person also has different thresholds for what stimuli cause sensory overload and why. Sensorium heightens the auditory and visual senses, with fast cuts, evocative sounds, and projection that takes over the primary area of vision. When the viewer enters the installation space with sculptures, all they see and hear is Sensorium. This onset of stimuli evokes emotions of panic, overwhelmingness, and anxiety. However, as Sensorium progresses and concludes, the audience emotionally progresses as well.
In Sensorium, Destiny and Tehya expose their audience to an alternate sensory reality of self-care. By showing their audience an immersive art installation built from experimental videography projected onto a sculpture, they expose them to not only a feeling but also a story of sensory overload.
