Proposal #3 + Redo #2

Topic:
Play-water

Background:
'Freshwater is perhaps the most crucial resource for humans and all other living creatures on earth. Our life revolves around water, and sufficient clean water is essential for our healthy living as well as the health of the environment.' WWF-Malaysia.

Problem Identification:
people dont know about water source in malaysia. Malaysian has the typical lackadaisical attitude towards environmental issues. Most Malaysians are not aware of our current water issue. They still think that our We are so Rich in Water source and we can continue using fresh water as always.

Objective:
To learn about different water source in Malaysia
To identify sounds of water
To experiment with water and sound

Motivation:
At the same time to provoke awareness of the rising water issue in malaysia, in conjunction with WWF's effort of educating people about the environment.

Idea/concept:
umbrella as a visual metaphore (just a tool)
a row of umbrellas displayed and hung over the ceiling and installed with different sound for each of them.
Audience interaction with the umbrella will trigger sound of different water source. (e.g. waterfall, river, tap, etc.)
OR
When the umbrella is opened, sound of the down pour or maybe the drizzle, producing lights on the umbrella indicating the amount of rain.
It is something to play with.
Perhaps through an interactive installation, audience gets to know better about water source in Malaysia.
