A sound and shadow installation that illustrate the atmosphere of the dining time.
Because of the context of the human being that it gave space meaning. And space can become place. For example, when there is no dining, the table becomes a shelf for placing things. But the gathering of people, it gives space meaning. Because of people join this space, we interpreted this space as a dining room.
Shadow of activity.
Sound of appliance.
What is the necessary elements to let the audience feel in a space atmosphere?
Trying to put the dining atmosphere into a forty centimeter cubic, so Chen sketched the structure where could people trigger the switches.
Using the distance sensor to detect the people who is watching, then the device will turn on the sound and shadows of the dining time.
Creating, testing and refining. After the work is formed, it is more convenient for me to examine what is missing or unneeded in this space.
Since getting older and older, the time spent with family has become less and less, not to mention the meal time. Dining table gives me a feeling of reunion and temperature. So I wanted to make an installation that aiming to create a feeling from dining atmosphere. In addition, I also want to explore some of the relationship between place and space through this installation. But that’s just a rough discussion. Deeper research also involves academic articles like existentialism.
