The Search of The Glow
For 31 years, Taiwan's Lantern Festival has illuminated many cities and become one of the biggest tourist events in Taiwan. After the event was held in 2003 and 2015, Taichung City has held the event for the third time, highlighting the brilliance of the introduction. The theme of this festival is the revival of the --- dawn. This combines the local pristine environment and the sights of dawn, hoping to energize forest fantasies through traditional lantern art.
Based on this theme, artist Ling-Li Tseng collaborated with Serendipity Studio to create a light installation called "Mori Hikari Mist Fruit". In the forest, the minimalist spectroscopic apparatus has a wooden oval sphere shape. The interior of this structure is covered with LED tubes, and the light emitted covers the entire forest. The glow transforms into mist, guiding visitors into the temporary lighted pavilion.
The mist clings to the trunk of the tree, intertwining with the woods into a situation like a deep mountain, the vision is blurred or clear, the fog is led by light into the forest adventure, under the trees found a luminous body composed of curved wood, meandering and overlapping wooden strips like a hollow pine cone, the structural texture is close to the lines of the treetops, and it is a whispering dialogue between artificial curves and natural curves.
In fact, Ling-Li Tseng, the creator of "Mori Hikari Misty Fruit", is a large-scale installation artist who has created many excellent works in Taiwan. Looking at the works of his personal website in recent years, I found that many works are related to "fog", and the combination of man-made structure and natural meteorological phenomena is very clever, and the atmosphere and environment created are also beautiful and desirable. For example, the following installation of "Kaohsiung Water" in Kaohsiung City.
What Xiaobian particularly likes is one of his works called "Mist Encounter". This work stands on a large outdoor plaza in front of the Taipei Fine Arts Museum. Summer sunshine and breezes will drift by, bringing the scaffolding and mesh structures to life. A layer of hazy mist will rise from the square outside, attracting visitors closer. As visitors walk from the outside to the inner square, they are gradually enveloped in fog, alternating and disappearing with the weight of the fog, the effect is similar to the thick fog passing through the enchanted forest.
"Mist Encounter", which opens a space art event about microclimates. It creates body consciousness through fog and creates consciousness of the renovation of the museum's air conditioning. Changing fogs, which give invisible air flow and regulation in an understandable form, also allow the human body to perceive changes in its surroundings. Mist is displayed between the mesh and the structural layers – where one can observe the flow of the mist, as blurred or clear boundaries change, and through or hidden vision.
Inside the cone, the surrounding atmosphere slowly transforms into a mist, allowing the mist to gently descend onto the visitor's skin. Observing the environment through the translucent layer, breathing in the humid air, the device and the user have a profound tactile interaction.
The mist generated inside the central courtyard reflects the concept of time and the climate. When the accumulated fog reaches full density, visitors experience the sensation of blindness and time slowing down. This sensation effectively enhances the senses of touch, hearing, smell, and touch and helps to strengthen people's connection with fog, silence, and whispering. The goal of this invisible "sensory journey" is to create a unique connection in the environment in the public psyche.
In addition to the above several projects related to "fog", one of Ling-Li Tseng's most well-known works is the work of "Mind.Wall", which is related to "wall". In this work, the artist no longer explores the interactive relationship between nature and man, but the interaction between the wall and the human mind.
According to Freud, humans are not driven by their choices, but by thoughts that exist in the subconscious, i.e., perceptions such as stress, doubt, and anxiety. To better understand the subconscious mind, this project specifically explores brainwave activity, which is less direct biofeedback signals.
Wall, a basic architectural vocabulary, is a responsive element of this project. In the mind. The wall uses electroencephalogram (EEG) technology, and the brainwave signals received from the sensing device change the shape of the wall, and the front part of the wall is made of elastic fabric and the rear part is composed of rotatable pipes. The rotation speed and angle of the tube are driven by brainwave data. The asymmetry between tiny signals and their physical effects provides different perspectives for exploring the response environment.
