Video Intallation
Projectors, Arduino, Relay, Unreal Engine, After Effects
This dual-channel video installation showcases light interactive visuals exhibited at the Yuejin Lantern Festival. As the projector's lights dim, a relay triggers the spotlight in the space. When the wall is not illuminated by projections, viewers will see their own shadows. Conversely, they will witness a tree growing along with its shadow, in a continuous cycle.
Light is the driving force among all living things - the phototropism in plants and the phototaxis of animals. This work not only attempts to immerse the viewers in the projection that depicts how plants follow the sun as they grow, but articulates our perception and imagination of light in a distinctive way.
