Artist Statement
SHIiKAKU = 四角, 視覚, 視角, 死角 is a Japanese homophone that translates to "square", "visual", "optic angle" as well as "blind spot". Embracing these themes and variations, SHiKAKU07 creates light symphony by the presence of a viewer in real time. SHiKAKU 07 is a unique "seeing sound " experience by public participation.
SHiKAKU07 introduces to public a new way of experience the installation by surprise. It is a new art that public has to participate and interact. It is not like a traditional form of installation, observe art, that public interact one way. Public participation will be a part of the installation. Inspired by Zen Garden structure, SHiKAKU07 transform old idea and stricture require to sit, meditate, and observe, into a new digital, an active garden, SHiKAKU07 that uses LED lights and sound with new technology by public collaborative activation.
四角: Square structure SHiKAKU07' structure is inspired by Japanese Zen garden, Karesansui. It is a "dry landscape" garden, that creates arrangement of rocks, water, moss, tree and bushes and uses sand to create a universe. SHiKAKU07 as a Digital Zen garden presents LED strips hanging from the ceiling to the wall as a tree and bushes, a cube like LED bars structure as rocks and public walking through the structure as water. There will be 2 set of 1-2m LED light cube like structures with 10 sets of 2-6m LED light strip over it. Public will be free to walk around the structures.
視覚: Visual SHiKAKU07' s experience is "seeing sound" and public will be a part of creation. Visual effect will be synchronized with sound. Depend on where public stand, their audio visual experience will be different with 6 channel speakers.
視角: Optical angle SHiKAKU, Square structures are 2 cube like installations. Combination of Led lights create illusion of many different patterns of cube in the dark space.
死角: Blind spot Unexpected light and sound experience will happen how and how many public walk through the installation. Exposure of strong LED lights will appear as a unexpected afterimages.
