Sitting by The Window  窗边
 

Sitting by the Window investigates the intricate, multilayered relationships between humans and nature, delving into how individuals observe and interact with natural landscapes. The installation examines how human perception and spatial awareness influence our interaction with the surrounding environment through sculptures installed on the ceiling depicting the sky, creating a novel spatial environment.

 

Real-time motion graphics rendering and projection mapping form the core of this project. This installation continues the machine learning system from The Side Valley, utilizing imagery of the sky above Jinji Lake to train the AI model, thereby capturing the sky through the machine’s eyes. Detailed sky and cloud simulations are generated and visualized as particle systems within VVVV software using live data from the location, including wind speed and direction. These simulations undergo sophisticated dynamic graphic processing before being displayed on sculptural screens.

 

By lifting their sight upward, people enter a poetic dialogue with the installation, reminded of life's cyclical rhythms and inspired to embrace their inner connection with the natural world.
