SM2261-installation idea, Submersed Songs by Vivian Caccuri






Brazilian artist Vivian Caccuri has put an installation art that remixes music from an MP3 player based on the movements of live fish. The setup uses a proximity sensor to monitor what the fish are doing and changes the processing levels, adding and removing distortion and speaker fade as they go about their fishy business.

SM2261-installation idea, An Infinity Room


In Buddhism, emptiness is everything. Everything is created from emptiness which is the status we so-call “nothing”. So, “nothing” is the origin of “infinite” things. In Infinity Room, everything was back to basic; there is nothing in that room, even light.

This room is totally darkness. Audience is invited to go in the room and staying alone for a while. Firstly, s/he will experience “nothing”, after that, s/he would explore more through their imagination that may be memories, senses and happenings.

SM2261-installation idea, Wooden Mirror by Rozen

SM2261-installation final work, City Star - video installation


“CITY STAR” is a work about my personal feeling about a city night view. For me, every city becomes a sky that is full of stars. The overall image of the night view is like the star sky.

Audiences see the "sky" like viewing sky in the countryside through the HD video projection on the ceiling. They are not only enjoying the beautiful sky macroscopically, but also a telescope is provided in order to let the audience see the “stars” microscopically.

The projection is a real-time non-edited HD-video, which are walled buildings in Tseung Wan. The point of real-time is hope the audiences experience the peaceful night view, more than see the exciting changing of flats.
