About

An installation proposal for Substation Gallery in Singapore includes large scale multiple mapped immersive projection and digitally fabricate circular paper sculpture to transform exhibit space into impressive weather landscape.

The visuals will be projected onto the multiple suspended canvas screens. Each screen will be able to play different “weather” sequence, and to be triggered to combine into one large projection.The gallery room will invite the visitor to set out on exciting journey through the 17m undulating animated projections constructed along the gallery walls.

The installation will feature a paper sculpture at the one side of the Gallery Space. A software -aided 3D surface projection system will be used to cover the object with a seamless 360 degree projection.  An additional sensory system will detect people ‘s proximity so that the visual appearance will change continuously with evolving visual moods and graphic styles. Digitally fabricated, crafted and folded by hand using paper, this amorphous sculpture would give tactile and physical equivalent to intangible and expanding visuals of the illuminated projections in the rest of the space.

Objectives/Scopes and benefits

Project explores new possibilities by means of new media and digital technologies, dynamic transversal and per formative characteristic of architecture and space. The art installation will be adding new level of intricacy in viewing art and experiencing spaces. Works will go beyond conventional notions and limitations of both space and painting. How designs use digital fabrication/production and material techniques to calibrate between virtual animated world and imagery and physical artefacts combined will be illustrated in this experiential and intuitive painterly abstraction.
