At the invitation of 2023 Glow Shenzhen Organizing Committee, MARS Studio designed a set of light art installations in Futian District Citizen Square. The design is composed of four curved steel structures with staggered heights and ups and downs, showing a unique spiral semi-enclosed shape. The strings are woven into a thin and hazy display surface, forming a miniature "urban island" against the backdrop of light and shadow.
In the cyclonic field of light and lines, the installation tries to explore the distance between people. The circular spatial layout, like a rising mist, surrounds the viewer and resonates softly with the light. Each spiral component symbolizes a unique individual, and in their continuous circling and overlapping, they prompt encounters and exchanges between people.
Visitors can walk, stand, and watch in its midst, experiencing the changes of different colors and shades of light. In the interplay of light and shadow, a repertoire of time and color is encountered. In the space interwoven with silk threads, the viewer is able to observe the intertwined images of himself and others in the same dimension and in different time and space.
The design of this installation is inspired by the encounter and communication between people, and we encourage visitors to think about the meaning of meeting strangers and how to connect and communicate with others in this fast-paced urban life. Through the interaction with the installation, people are aroused to think about interpersonal relations and social communication.
The device itself contains three levels of interaction and correlation: the first is the tacit interaction between people and the device, the second is the situational interaction between people, and the last is the subtle interaction between the device and the city.
Light is the sculptor of space. The existence of light Outlines the outline of the space, but also gives the space spirituality. In the hidden valley, the dim light shuttles and circulates like a colorful picture. Going deep, the integration of man and light becomes an interaction and connection. We place the viewer in the dominant position of the space, immersing them in a field where the visual perception is altered by the reflections of color and light, creating a hazy island of overlapping illusions and walking with the light.
