With A Little Help From My Friends
UBIK
27 September – 15 November, 2012
The Pavilion Downtown Dubai is delighted to present UBIK’s interactive installation With A Little Help From My Friends. Inspired by the nature of relationships in Dubai, UBIK draws parallels by inviting the audience to interact with a collection of RC cars and colored sand, giving way to anarchic patterns, which ultimately reflect the relationships we build and leave behind.
With A Little Help From My Friends is an interactive installation that takes the concept of team-building as a departure point to explore shades of friendship in the city. The installation comprises of an assorted collection of RC cars and colored sand. A heat map inspires the aesthetics of the installation, and the movement of the RC cars in the space replicates it.
Employing performative elements, the gallery space houses piles of colored sand and remote controlled RC cars that the visitor is invited to interact with. Progression in time and the visitor’s involvement playing a key role in the installation’s culmination, a trace of the cars’ movement in the space is then visible through the transformation of the colored sand piles, creating various formations and patterns on the gallery floor, readapting the space into a different variation each day.
