Surge
“Fashion forward" Continuous exploration, progress, innovation, and self-transcendence define
trends at their best. Despite seemingly different domains such as fashion, art, products, and
architecture, they all operate in cycles defined by eras. Fashion trends continually redefine the
"old" through novel expressions, embracing the perpetual flux and rhythm. With an unwavering
dedication to self-evolution, trends consistently foster extraordinary ingenuity and reinvent the
"old" through new forms. Relentlessly pursuing self-evolution, trends constantly give rise to
unique brilliance.
This installation artwork features a circular flowing structure that enhances the sense of
movement through multiple transformative distortions. It creates a virtual space of light and
shadow, incorporating LED light strips and grid screens. By considering each traveler navigating
through the tide of trends as a catalyst for change, the installation drives 80,000 to 120,000
continuously flowing particles generated by the software itself based on the daily pedestrian
traffic data of Taikoo Li. Ultimately, it constructs an energetic depiction akin to a surging nocturnal
flow in the river of time.
We employed parametric design techniques to better portray trends' ever-changing nature and
power in creating and constructing the installation. With the assistance of digital fabrication
technologies, we created a captivating artistic piece that combines creativity and infectiousness.
By blending spatial elements, lighting effects, and sound, we provide a multisensory experience
that allows the audience to deeply feel the force of trends and the eruption of personal energy.
Embark on an unforgettable journey of movements, where you'll explore the unknown, surpass
yourself, and embrace the boundless vitality that trends bring.
