UV Discovery

UV Discovery reveals invisible ocean stories through an innovative interactive experience. Using special UV torches visitors uncover hidden infographics that appear magically when illuminated. These concealed scenes contain fascinating marine facts and artistic illustrations that spark curiosity about ocean life.

The installation uses specialized UV-reactive ink that remains invisible until exposed to ultraviolet light below 400 nanometers. Custom laser-cut stencils transfer detailed marine illustrations onto surfaces throughout the venue. Each discovery point presents engaging facts like “94% of life on earth is aquatic” or “corals are animals not plants” paired with beautiful artwork by Jette Edens.

A sculptural bamboo charging station invites young explorers to pick up UV torches and protective eyewear from a custom dispensing system. This treasure hunt for hidden knowledge transforms science education into an exciting journey of discovery. The combination of interactive technology artistic illustration and surprising facts creates memorable learning moments about marine life and ocean ecosystems.
