Projects

Cavernous

This short concept film showcases kar's "Cave Table Lamp", elegantly captured within the mystical Jinyun Stone Field. "Cave Table Lamp" is an artful illumination that resonates with the essence of a grotto, seemingly carved from the walls of a natural cavern. It recalls the history of our primitive ancestors who, dwelling in caves, chiselled, sculpted, and built, leaving indelible marks of civilisation — possibly the earliest human abodes. See More

Solar Etchings

A Super 8 film documenting the experimental process of the “Ice: Solar Etchings” project, in which light patterns from an ice lens appear on the bark of a tree at Tillinghast Place.See More

Ice: Solar Etchings

Installation Design and Experimental Film

Cyan No-type

Video editing and interactive design This is a research-based, collaborative art project that goes back and forth between antique and digital technologies, dimension and material through various experiments based on data extracted from nature. The group collected all the raw materials in the field with various devices. Each data with configurations of memory was stored in different formats including photographs, videos, sounds, and 3D scan models. The collections were dismantled and reconstructed according to individual feelings and memories at that moment as if peeling the textures apart piece by piece. The group embodied the reconstructed pieces by projecting light to settle sensory images through chemistry on physical material, leaving the traces as evidence of memory between organic and inorganic matter, and then building the digital structures upon it.See More

Drifting Records

Installation design and documentary filming Drifting Records is a site-specific sound installation, the body of the installation will be similar to a record player, only it can be used to play pancake ice – a stunning natural phenomenon: fragile circular discs with raised edges that form when water freezes as fragments of ice flow and rotate with the currents. This installation restores to an extent the sound created by the delicate collision and rotation of the pancake ice during their formation. See More
