Dimensions calculated in centimetres. The size of the hexagon will be 1 metre therefore the hexagon perimeter will be 6m2
This surface area will be open for participants to enter into the installation. To calculate the lateral area  the side of the hexagon needs to be multiplied by the depth of the installation and then multiplied by the number of sides.
Calculation in metres: Lateral Area= (side of hexagon x depth of installation) x number of sides
LA= 1m x 2m x 6
LA= 12m2
Therefore silver mirror aluminium composite panel  1220 x 2440 mm will be $195 per sheet. For inside the installation the mirrored interiors will cost $195 x 6 sides= $1170
To produce the mirrored hexagon inside the installation we will need an additional 2 panels of 1220 x 2440mm costing $390

The total cost of the silver mirror aluminium composite panel will cost $1560
The remainder of $3440 will be sufficient in the costing of hardwood panels and steel internal brackets.

What is being proposed?

Kalos Eidos ‘ Beautiful Form’ is a hardwood and reflective acrylic hexagon form that depicts a kaleidoscopic installation environment. Fostering and embracing the practice of temporal public art within a large scale walk-in installation, Beautiful Form is a socially engaging sensory experience.

What are the concepts and information that have informed this proposal?

The work arises out of conceptual interest of sensorial experiences and community engagement. The combination of light, mirrored reflections and visual and auditory cues with reference to the botanical gardens subject matter produces a site-specific installation that enhances the natural environment.

The significance of sensory stimulation within socially engaged art installation is critical in the inclusion of disability accessible artworks. Sensory stimulation is the activation of one or more of the senses including taste, vision, hearing, smell and touch. The most common sensory experiences evident within visual art installations refer to tactile, auditory and visual sensory stimulation, involving the sensation of touch, sound and visual cues.

Introduce the contextualisation of themes: other field of practices and interdisciplinary subjects

Participatory processes and community engagement within Beautiful Form forges
connections within participants and local communities of the Botanical Gardens.
The act of participation becomes critical to the installation as the sensorial artwork
manifests over the temporal exhibition.

In order to produce an effective public installation for Botanica, inclusivity and accessibility is vital for all individuals who would wish to participate. The design is made large enough that individuals of all ages and physical abilities can access the installation (that being, individuals with physical disabilities and mobility issues can access the sensorial installation).

Dimensions:

Average height of Australians is 172.53cm tall therefore the height of the installation for individuals to comfortably participate with the work would be 200cm (2m) in height and width. The depth of the installation is 300cm (3m), this is to allow an immersive sensory experience.

The average width of a wheelchair is 66cm measured at the rear wheels. The average length of a wheelchair is 106.5cm. Therefore the width and height of 200cm will accommodate an individual in a wheelchair and will leave room to navigate in, around and out of the installation.

Materials needed:

·      Reflective acrylic
Technical details: full sheet of silver mirror aluminium compsite panel: 3mm thickness, 1220 x 2440 mm = $195.00

Specialised dimensions of silver mirror acrylic can be produced from the manufacturer
The total cost of the silver mirror aluminium composite panel will cost $1560

·       Hardwood exterior to withstand Brisbane heat and weather

·       Steel internal brackets

·       Design printed exterior- can be produced in QUT design printing lab

Movement stimulated by auditory and visual cues. Creating a basic performance and inviting the audience to follow and interpret the stimulation in their own preformative aspect.

Two way mirror in the centre would simplify the design and would eliminate the use of projectors. Reflective plastic/ mirrored acrylic would ensure safety for patrons and participants.

This is a really pretty version of the windchimes. Could even use this design but use a reflective material/paint?

This is another interesting example, using multiple wind chimes, as opposed to one large chime.

# data[].attributes.body
This installation also allowed for audience participation - inviting the audience to hit the chimes themselves. Could be another interesting concept to play with if we were wanting to?

A dance performance on opening night that is then recorded and shown in the kaleidoscope and different times of the day
Things to think about- do we need to ensure that it is covid safe? If so what procedures will we need to put in place (sanitising the installation after everyone participant/ ensuring a safe amount of participants are in the pod at one time) 
Wind chimes to produce auditory stimulation/ Reflective wind chimes to visually correspond with mirrors. Audience participation could also be utilised to create the soundscape.

Family friendly, community engagement. The botanica festival is open to all ages, so therefore producing an installation exploring the idea of creating something for the family / young family unit to enjoy -- especially in these times when there isn't much you can do as a young family as a lot of art and culture activities are closed

Our overall concept is to create a large scale kaleidoscope art installation that adds to and highlights the defining features of the botanical gardens.

Deliver a ten-minute group presentation to the project stakeholders that describes and contextualises your concept proposal. Your presentation will be accompanied by a written overview of your group project (PDF, max. 5 pages). 
Your Concept Presentation is a competitive round.  After reviewing all group presentations, the panel will select a final shortlist of proposals to progress to Design Development stage (Milestone 2).
Your project supervisor will provide formative feedback on your presentation according to the Project Practice Assessment Criteria detailed below.
