Statement 4 Tourists pay $32000 to go in a submerine 2miles deep into the pacific ocean, to view the titanic wreckage.


Exhibition In this exhibition i will be showing the journey to the deep. The use of light will from start to finish will disapear, showing how light disapears the deeper you go. There will be sound in the exhibit, which will show visitors how the ocean sounds at different depth. Different secitons will be different temperature using heating, it will be warmer at the entrance an then colder at the bottom,(air condition) Visitors will be able to feel and experience the pressure, through the entrance to each zone as The doorways will get smaller and also through using the bubble experiment. Explanations of pressure, light and temperature and why those factors make it harder for humans to get to the bottom, will be explained on the round plynths. aswell as info about each zone in the portholes. The reason for portholes is because we can only get that far down in a submerine. It will be an interactive exhibit, as the user will be given a device which measures and has a torch on it. The torch will be used in the dark zone to point on blue lights to reveal the sea creatures.

moving projected blue lights to show the environment in the deep. Creatures appear when the torch shines on them.

perspex sheet, with exhibit title projected on with a reflecting shadow on to the back wall so the type lookslike its going deeper into trenches.

sound will be installed into the exhibit. so it will sound like it sounds in the ocean

The one room is seperated into zones to show the different layers within the sea. (how far the sunlight reaches)

2 bubble machines. An experiment to show how pressure works.

heaters and air conditioning will be put in the different sections so that the audience can also feel the temperature change, as there walking into the deep.

Big circle information stands containingcontent. made of see through perspex with lights and info/type stuck ontop.

entrance to exhibit. The entrance to each section of the exhibit gets smaller to communicate the increase of pressure the deeper you go.

coloured perspex walls (made wavey to look like waves)

portholes displaying information of each layer. . will be made from glass, water inside and info/type stuck on vinyl

big digital lit up screen with an opening paragragh. first thing audience see


Exhibition materials censored projectors - project the sea animals and the sea paint Blue Lights Perspex sound (speakers) - noise of the ocean Heating and air con (temperature) Bubble experiment - interactive digital handheld device

The colours show how sunlight travels through water and where it stops. The doorways get smaller and more compressed to show the level of pressure getting greater. The whole room is devided into 3 sections to show the layers of the ocean.


Handheld device These will be given to eaxh visitor at the front of the exhibit then handed back to the museum on the way out. The digital device is going to have a lot of the contentt, It is the size of a phone. and could be used as an app aswell. The content shown on the device will be the depth temperature and pressure. The device is conected to the exhibit via infrared. so as the visitor walks through the exhibit, they will be shown the temperature and pressure at the correct depth.

small digital device with a torch (which will be used in the dark zone) Thernometre (to measure temperature) and a barometer( measure pressure) It works as you walk through the exhibition and tells the real temperatureand pressure, what it would be at those depths.


Information/content In this exhibition i want the audience to get the content through their own senses. I want the room to look and feel like the content i am showing. The type i will be using throughout the exhibit will be futura condesnsed. because ir is clear and looks quite long and pushed together, to five the impression of depth and pressure

These port holes would be made from a light glass and metal, it would have real water inside the glass. They would be placed as you walk through each entrance, so the audience can read the information about each zone, as if they would be looking through a submerine. They also might attract children to read the information more. The info/type would be stuck ontop of the glass.

Icy cold, pitch black and with crushing pressure, the deep sea is the largest but least known region on earth.This cold, dark place is the worlds largest habitat, but few people have ventured into it. The moon and mars have been more explored than the earths deep ocean. It is the lowest layer in the ocean and reaches down to 11000m. Scientists found it impossible to get to the bottom and for a long time thought that life coudn始t exist there, up until recent advances in for humans to visit. The further you go down into the ocean, the pressure gets higher, the temperature drops and the sunlight fades, these factors make it harder for us.

Pressure

-

The large amounts of pressure below the surface layer is the

Temperature Light Light does not pass through water easily. Some scattered and absorbed in the sea water. This is why the ocean is divided into layers. the sunlight only reaches as far as the twilight zone. The sun light zone is the most active layer in the ocean be cause this is where plants can use the light energy for photosynthesis to create food.

This will be the 1st stand the audience see. it is going to be a black stand with a digital screen, with a bright blue type.

The deeper into the ocean you go the colder it gets. This is because the heat energy from the sun does not travel further than the twilight zone. The only reason the heat gets that far as that is becasue of the wind and the waves mixing the heat further. The warmest bit where temperature is at its highest, is the surface layer. The temperature plunges as it hits below 1000m because there is no energy or light from the sun. The temperatures can go to as low as -0c to -1c without freezing, as sea water doesn始t freeze at the same temperature as fresh water because of the salinity, which is the amount of salt the sea water contains.

without using submersibles. The amount of force that presses on a certain area is known as pressure. The weight of air in the earths atmosphere squeezes everything in it equally in all directions. Everyday we have 14.7 pounds of air pressing onto every part of our bodies. We dont feel it because we have adapted to it. Pressure is measured in atm. 14.7p = 1 atm. The pressure is at its maximum at sea level. The pressure of the air presses down onto the sea. The weight of water in the sea creates pressure and because water is so heavy, the pressure changes rapidly by 1atm for every 10 meteres of depth. so the deeper you go the higher the pressure because the water 6.4million gallons of water above it pressing down squishing it, thats 52,376000 pounds pressing on every inch of its body.

These stands will be made from perspex and be large round and transparent, like bubbles. starting with light, temperature, then pressure at the deep. The bubbles will go in order of size. the smallest at the start, because bubbles are created at the bottom of the sea then gradually get smaller as they float to the top then they pop.The perspex will sit on metal stands on the floor, with Led lights. So they are readable.


Experiment A cylinder filled with water attatched to an air pump. visitors will have to push te pump down so that they can create pressure to produce bubbles. The cylinders a facing up and towards the sunlight zone because bubbles start from the bottom of the ocean, then float upwards and pop as they hit the surface of the sea.
