Dimmur Leiðangur
The confined space of the cockpit can often feel like an isolated one, relying on the view to ground you to civilisation. Interviewing several pilot’s and understanding their individual experiences, has given this project a distinctive outlook, exploring the deeper connections we have with the diverse dome of light that stretches across our planet. “Dimmur Leioangur” which means ‘dark atmospheric journey’ in Icelandic investigates artificial light from an overview perspective, and focuses on the specific moment pilots fear of darkness turns into awe with the approaching light from below. Accompanied with a data visualised sculpture that had travelled from London to Reykjavik collecting light intensity data. Each LED square represents the range of light from the flown area below and dominates the natural surrounded landscape.
