絮絮
“Blown by wind, the catkin-like golden light is raising and softly twinkling.
The light will dance with music in the place, then transform into the wonderful gathering moment.”
Intending to stir spectators' memories about light, the installation sketches momentary but fantastic scenes by applying the phenomenon of Persistence of vision.
“The race between light and time transforms into scenes in our memories so we try to illustrate these fleeting memories.” explained by WHYIXD.
With the high-speed spin of the mechanism, the external form of the installation fades away and gives place to the dazzling rings of light.
‘Dandelion’ draws light trails to construct the volume of light, creating continuously dazzling light which separates and gathers by turns, like dandelion flowers, to make spectators recall memories about encounters. The lighting will vary with time and the music in both passion and romantic vibe, celebrating the fantastic moment.
‘Dandelion’ is now permanently exhibited for the public in Golden Bridge International Business Plaza, Shanghai. Situated in the entrance of the plaza, it is the new landmark providing regular lighting programs varying according to seasons to attracted crowds.
Consisting of 41 spinning lamps, this dandelion-shaped kinetic lighting installation is 7 meters tall with spiral arrangement for the lamps, and it is crafted from mirror-finished stainless steel and LED strings.
「籽絮飄揚，漫天作舞。」
光直達細胞，張闔間映射靈魂的窗扉。人的生活散落在日常的追逐，時序流衍下，片刻記憶即是永恆美好。此作利用座座高速旋轉的燈體，以「視覺暫留」的框架捕捉光的軌跡，放映知覺的情感記憶。
如同渴求的星辰，攫取發光的速度，現形於溫熱的腦波中，傾躺於意識之海。此次以更為纖細、精緻的金屬支架構築出「光」與「記憶」的通感，種子般的外型象徵輕盈落下的時光縫隙，緩緩飄送絢麗漣漪。
切分閃爍的霎那，猶如現實與夢境的交錯，又或者，這是「夢境超越了現實」。拼湊出新的感官意識，在時刻永恆的生滅、次次輪轉的景色間，不斷沈溺於環伺暗香的遍野，彷彿未曾真正清醒。
