other artworks

In the earlier entrances, i said i want to use patterns lead people communicate. right now i have two diractions of this. they are similar to the works that some artists did.

one is "Subtile Public" by Rafael Lozano-Hemmer. (video at: http://www.lozano-hemmer.com/subtitled_public.php) it is a very interesting and good way to interactive, and also it is good for me to learn from it. 

the other one is similar to these two artworks in Lonton lights exhibition (2013). They both use light and shadow to create patterns on the empty wall or surrounding. They are stay or move. But similarly, they all attract people to experence them.

In her large-scale interventions into natural and man-made landscape, Nancy Holt uses ‘locators’ – holes and tunnels – to channel the viewer’s vision and frame a particular view. Her particular concerns are to make people more aware of light, space and time, their own visual perception, and the order of the universe. One of her few indoor installations, Holes of Light (1973), consists of a central partition with a diagonal line of holes lit from either side. Here, she plays with the indeterminacy of light and variable viewing positions. The illumination constantly switches from one side of the partition to the other, creating alternate effects of light and shade.

Conrad Shawcross’ Slow Arc inside a Cube (2008) involves a complex play of moving light and shadows. It owes its genesis to an anecdote about the immensely complicated process of mapping the molecular structure of insulin by means of crystal radiography, a feat achieved by the Nobel Prize-winning chemist Dorothy Hodgkin. Shawcross explains that though he has always made works with light and movement, he was never very interested in shadows until he read Hodgkin’s description of the process, which she compared to decoding the shape of a tree from the shadows its leaves cast on a wall.
