Fluito

BIRMINGHAM COMMONWEALTH GAMES

A large-scale outdoor public art installation which invited participants to explore different layers of aquatics. Showcasing the agility of elite swimmers, the positive mental impact of swimming, water inequality within the Commonwealth and ocean pollution. There is also an AR version for those that couldn't travel to Birmingham to see the installation.

Climate anxiety can leave people feeling overwhelmed rather than inspired to change. The experience of Fluito is playful and memorable and although people do need to alter their behaviours, I wanted to showcase there is beauty in the future and a purpose to changing.’
