This year our flotilla of origami boats installation Voyage will travel to the beautiful Dunham Massey!

Nestled between the vibrant city of Manchester and the beginnings of rural Cheshire, Dunham Massey includes a 300-acre deer park, a historic house and buildings, and all-season gardens.  
 

The Duke of Gloucester has opened the Amble ‘Bord Waalk’ sculpture trail and the opening happened just on our ‘Birdsong’ sculpture!

His Royal Highness the Duke of Gloucester arrived by helicopter, landing at Amble Links. He was then met by her Grace the Duchess of Northumberland. They travelled to Shorebase Trust on the Braid where the ceremony took place.

The gardens - home to 12,000 trees and the National Conifer Collection - have been decked out once more into a magical after-dark lights and sounds trail, including our installation Voyage.

Christmas at Bedgebury officially opens to the public on Friday, November 22 and runs on selected dates to Monday, December 30.

A one-mile trail weaves through the Botanics, using the Garden’s natural landscape and historic buildings as a backdrop for awe-inspiring visual effects; including our installation Voyage on the Gardens’ Pond.

Our flotilla of origami boats has travelled to Dubai to celebrate Diwali on Burj Lake. On display until the end of November, Voyage forms part of the Emaar Art initiative, which aims to bring art to the wider community.

Premiering in 2016, Light City Baltimore is the first large-scale, international light festival in the United States. Light City will provide a backdrop for the celebration of ideas, ingenuity and creativity through art, music and innovation.

Light City will shine a light on Baltimore’s abundance of creative, cutting-edge, multi-disciplinary talent, and at Aether & Hemera we are delighted that our installation Voyage has been selected for the festival.

Aether & Hemera's installation Voyage 'is sailing' to Arizona for taking part to the inspiring Canal Convergence event which animates the Scottsdale Waterfront  from early November.

We share the same motto with Scottsdale Public Art : Live the art. Love the place.

The mission of Scottsdale Public Art is to serve as a leader in defining art in the public realm through creative place-making, signature cultural events, exhibitions, and installations  contributing to the community's creative, cultural, and economic vitality.

At Aether & Hemera, we are interested in Xdesign for contemporary city , focusing not only on the traditional 'hard' infrastructures of buildings and engineering, but also the 'softer' infrastructures of social networks and human interactions.

Interactive Installation at Canary Wharf

The etymon of the word 'voyage' comes from Latin viāticum, which means 'provision for travelling'; the inspiration of this artwork is to allow people to travel and sail with absolute freedom to all the places we care to imagine. Paper boats bring us in voyages through childhood memories, wishes and imaginings. Paper boats’ on the water invite everyone to make a transition from reality to imagination, reliving childhood memories and embracing our freedom. Creating an unexpected and unusual addition to the landscape, Voyage inspires the viewers to think creatively about the spaces around them; the dynamic coloured light scenarios of the artwork invite the viewer to make a smooth transition between reality and daydream.
