Trickle…, a kinetic art installation at the Museum of Contemporary Art of Georgia

Posted by admin on August 24th, 2010 and filed under installation art | 7 Comments »

In this large-scale installation a 20 feet tall structure, with a pool of water for a floor collects the occasional drop of water falling from above. A 16 feet boat, suspended from the ceiling just high enough for the viewer to walk under its hull, pierces through the framework of the structure. Descending from 18 high, a wooden staircase enters the structure as well. It also allows the viewer to pass beneath it, but does not allow access as it enters the water. This work is sensitive to a viewers position within the gallery space and, accordingly, will have events take place that involve the lighting, video, audio, and a number of kinetic elements.

Interactive Installation Art –?Examination? Chinese

Posted by admin on February 12th, 2010 and filed under installation art | No Comments »

In todays information explosion and internet era, the creator had realized that modern people require even more capabilities to face competing pressure. ?Examination? is an interacting art which uses a model of the creators head as the interactive interface, and projects 3D animation images of the creator on both sides of the room. When the audience picks up the stethoscope and touches the model, the projected 3D human digital images would appear with IC invasions and brightens, just like having an IC board tattoo marked on the face.
The audience uses a stethoscope as the interaction mechanism, picks up the role as a doctor, and health check the inside feelings of the creator. During the interacting process, the effects such as computers and the internet to the creators mind are diagnosed. The work piece expresses forms of anxiety and haste.

The model is divided into different interacting sense-areas, printed with fortune-telling Chinese characters and scientific symbols which describe the human body parts. As the audience uses the stethoscope to diagnose the characters on the model, it resembles modern people would chose a rather superstitious method, or a medical path to diagnose and relieve self-pressure.
While using the method of an interactive piece to express the creators realization towards information and technology, and from the interaction with the audience, the concept of ?Examination?is presented. This presentation is meant to refer the experience and inside thoughts of modern people.
