The second large-scale installation for Xujiahui is created by the Beijing based artist Wang Yuyang. Suspended in-between trees in the only “natural habitat” of the Xujiahui area, namely the Xuhui park, this particular abstraction of the rarely seen moon in Shanghai skies induces a kind of an  “artificial” natural and surprising experience for its audiences.

Miraikan “TSUNAGARI” Project

The “TSUNAGARI” project (by Mitsubishi Electric Corporation) is an innovative project in which we can share scientific information with the world through a new form of visual expression,and provides us with “know – ledge”on our planet and our species. The globe, which measures an impressive 6-meters, is the world’s first large-scale spherical OLED screen. Hanging 18 meters from the floor, it has been constructed with aluminum and covered with 10,362 OLED panels, each measuring 96 x 96 millimeters. The spherical screen will be officially unveiled on June 11th as part of the museum’s brand-new “Geo-Cosmos” exhibit, where it will display scenes of clouds and other visions of the earth taken from a meteorological satellite.

Jason Bruges Studio’s latest artwork has been unveiled at Sunderland Station. The 144m long piece presents a virtual platform filled with travellers within a glass block wall. The 3m tall glass block wall in the underground train station has been turned into a large low-resolution video matrix (755×15 pixels). Behind the wall is a disused platform, which long ago used to see passengers waiting for trains. Now the tracks are long gone and the old platform is hidden from view., we have created ghostly characters that appear behind the glass wall opposite passengers waiting for the trains.

‘lit tree‘, an installation that uses a small potted tree as the site for an interactive light display, is the newest work on exhibition by kimchi and chips, the collaborative studio of london-based technical designer elliot woods and seoul-based artist mimi son.

considered by the artists an ‘in-progress prototype’, ‘lit tree’ represents a new approach to 3D mapping, involving the non-invasive utilization of the existing environment for 3D projection, accomplished through the realtime scanning of the projection site. as a visitor places her hand above a wooden plinth located near the bamboo plant, her hand is scanned in three dimensions, and the 3D shape is reflected ’inside’ the tree. thereafter, she can select and highlight a volume of the tree gesturally. kimchi and chips hopes that the response of these volumetric patterns of light to visitor interaction will draw attention to the invisible effects of our day-to-day interaction with the environment.
