Flower Dance Forest
Is this a real world, or is it an illusory world? Can you find your oasis in the “real desert” of technology?
Flower Dance Forest Scene
It’s a real world of technology that’s been built with a myriad of technologies. In a wonderful space of computer programming, sensors, projections, lighting, interactive animations, music effects and glass, Fujigaku, the main creator’s employee, admits that he can also accidentally get lost.
The work is inspired by the flowers that the artist encounters during his travels, these fragile but never-ending beautiful objects bloom in the mountains or at the foot of the mountains, the flowers in different spatial areas are divided according to the four seasons, and the audience becomes a part of the work, the hands touch the flowers will begin to wither, and the crowd will gather in a hundred flowers, this dreamlike virtual sea of flowers created by a computer program can interact with the audience in real time. Your every move will affect the entire life course of a flower from birth, blooming to withering and withering, showing the cycle of cause and effect.
There are yellow sunflowers, purple morning glories, hydrangeas, roses, etc., in the flying petals, in the endless rain of flowers, the audience can always find their most beautiful side by standing or sitting and dancing with the flowers. Each flower created by real-time computing technology will be unique, and once it withers, it will not be reborn, and the moment it meets each flower will only be the fate of the next moment.
That exuberance will grow and then spread to your clothes, body and face until you become one with the forest of flowers, allowing you to fully appreciate the beauty of nature. The relationship between human beings and nature does not have to be antagonistic, and the blooming flowers suggest the possibility of a harmonious and beautiful relationship.
Crystal Universe
If “Flower Dance Forest” is like a huge labyrinth that runs through the exhibition, then the other works are surprises in the room, waiting to be discovered by the viewer.
Sometimes the glowing particles are as white as diamonds, sometimes as bright as diamonds, sometimes as fluorescent as fireflies on a midsummer night, sometimes as psychedelic and vast as the starry sky, sometimes as dreamy as blue and purple, sometimes as hot as a flame, as deep blue as the sea, and as golden as a Broadway stage.
This universe of light, which is composed of countless luminous particles, changes according to the operation control of the mobile phone or iPad, and the signal of the field is not very good, and the operation of the mobile phone is almost a bubble, but fortunately, there is an iPad in the field to operate. The audience took photos at the Crystal Universe site. The ground is made up of mirrors, and countless particles of light are scattered around you, creating an infinite space. Secretly tell you that after walking through the empty corridor, turning around and facing the luminous particles on the left hand side is the best place to take pictures. Here you can dance with your own shadow and show up to four of your figures.
Surrounded by light and shadow
In the dark space before the start there is a circular area under the stage spotlights, which is the best place to see it. Of course, in this interactive digital installation, you can also move around as you please, because the images are 360 degrees in the space surrounded by projections. The Yaga-to-bird depicted in light appears in the universe, and in Japan the crow is worshiped as an auspicious bird and is also a “national sacred beast”, while the Yaga-to-bird is a three-legged crow. The eight birds hovered in space, bringing out a three-dimensional ray of light and writing an “empty book”. They chase each other and fly, but they will recognize the location of the spectator, and then dodge and fly, and if they can’t avoid bumping into the spectator, they will turn into flowers and dissipate.
As the energy beam dances through the universe, you will have the illusion that you are in outer space, traveling through time and space with Yachi, staging a “Fast and Furious” in space. The audience’s body loses a clear boundary with the world, and the body is used to perceive the world and integrate the body into the world.
The work is not a pre-recorded animation, nor is it played on a loop, but is presented in real time according to a computer program. Just as we can no longer step into the same river, this image is always new when we look at it again. One moment is gone, and the next moment is parting.
The table where the little man lives
Technology is the most important element of the work, and the design team is interested in how art can be broadened through the use of digital technology. By connecting technology with art, we may be able to make people’s lives more positive. Technology is humanitarian, and the concept of digitalization itself is to expand the expression of humanity.
Visitors can pick up a paper with a variety of marine creatures outlined, and fill in the paper to paint their favorite sharks, octopuses, tropical fish, etc., and the staff will scan the paper after the drawing, and your sea creatures will appear on the big screen and swim in the sea with the other audience drawings.
The sea creatures on the screen will also interact with the audience, the fish will swing their tails and swim away when you reach out to “catch”, and when the treasure bag appears, click to release fish food, and you can also feed the fish in an interactive way to attract a large number of fish.
It seems to be a child’s world, and it seems that it is easier for people to transcend time and space, return to childhood, play an artist, and happily travel to the future city.
In the fairyland and fantasy built by technology, forget about time and space, let yourself go, and enjoy this moment of artistic experience and selfie journey. In the desert of technology, you can always find an oasis called “self”.
