Surge 涌
A temporal corridor where form appears to breathe with movement, as if one were traversing a surging corridor within the river of time. Developed in collaboration with architectural studio F.O.G., employs parametric design techniques and digital fabrication, allowing the structure itself to reflect the very principles of transformation it represents. Features a circular, continuously flowing structure, designed to evoke a sense of momentum through layered parametric distortions. The piece merges spatial logic with sensorial computation, integrating structure, data, and perception into a single, continuous field.
Real-time data drives the work, with between 80,000 and 120,000 flowing particles generated through custom software based on daily pedestrian traffic at Taikoo Li. Composed of LED light strips and grid screens, it constructs a virtual environment of shifting light and shadow. Each passerby becomes a catalyst within the system, triggering visual turbulence and activating the structure from within.
