Ritual as intention
made visible
Vibe Altar is an interactive sculptural installation that explores ritual as a living practice of intention, agency, and remembrance. An illuminated crystal ball housed within a handcrafted wooden enclosure responds to visitor proximity, triggering one of nine audiovisual invocations in randomized rotation.
Each activation reveals a distinct visual environment aligned with a corresponding feminist text, allowing language, sound, and imagery to converge into a moment of intentional engagement. Technology serves as conduit rather than spectacle.
The textual overlays draw from Silvia Federici, Barbara Ehrenreich, Mary Douglas, Madeline Miller, Clarissa Pinkola Estés, Gerda Lerner, and Simone de Beauvoir — reframing witchcraft not as superstition, but as applied knowledge, care, and resistance.
At rest, the altar holds a meditative idle state. When approached, it awakens. The altar does not demand belief — it offers a pause.
