Mood Elevator
By Artist Chris Lattanzio
"Mood Elevator", by Chris Lattanzio, is a multi-sensory piece that has been turned into an interactive experience for guests to engage in.
This work is a sculpture designed to look like an elevator, surrounded by bright LED lights. Located inside the elevator are two chairs and headphones connected to it. Elevator users will select the button mode of their choice located on the outside of it, sit in the chairs facing the elevator, and put on the headphones. If the top button is pressed, the experience will give off lights, colors, and sounds associated with uplifting feelings of happiness, while if the bottom button is pressed, the experience will give off feelings associated with a more calm and relaxed mood. After each button is pressed, the designated experience will play for five minutes. The elevator is designed to elevate one’s mood with its color and sound, whether uplifting spirits to make one excited and happy or to calm one down peacefully after a tiring day.
