‘Pavilion’ that made by Lawrence Malstaf is an installation with several transparent sails attached to a motorized flagpole. The sails float in the space while performing a delicate choreography. It was achieved by servo-power and pending mechanism. I like a mechanical system or power that can moves objects automatically. In this project, I’m very curious about how to use motor and moves with a pattern.

‘The shape of things to come’ is a kinetic sculpture made by ART + COM Studio which was exhibited in BMW Museum in Germany in 2008. This project is inspired by form-finding process in car design. The spheres hanging down from the ceiling moves separately creating an impression like white noise and then forms different shells step by step in car design process. I’m curious about how to make a physical matrix moves individually.

Also, I’m very interested in light art. The installation that with different glowing material and lights are always fancy, especially the installation has some kinetic movement. Leo Villareal is renowned for his light art piece.

Bay lights is one of  Villareal’s  work. The sequence of lights attract me a lot. He use thousands LED units built his prototype and programed. I haven’t use LED lights before, so in this class, I’d like to try it.

Radiant Pathway is also one work that I like, because of the neon lights. How to make colorful neon lights and bend the tube into different shape attracts me. Neon lights has more gentle glow than LED lights, and somehow always make me feel like entering an unusual space and relaxing.

The last project is a performance made by Edwin Van Der Heide in 2008. I like laser! Because I like the light effects on stage, laser lights can make an future vibe, adding different colors and patterns, working with smoke generator.
