Immersive aesthetic: Public aquariums and the rhetorical sublime
Presentation
Overview
Overview
Description
This project invokes the concept of the sublime to illuminate and analyze several rhetorical features of public aquariums. Design elements along with specific images and signage work collectively to foster sublime rhetorical experiences and encounters. The implicit, and sometimes explicit message is that our planet is worth saving, in part, because it is beautiful and powerful enough to offer elevation and transport.
