Interviews with Lai Jiebin

I want to focus on personal feelings, highlight public participation and enhance the interactive relationship between people and sculpture

I want to find a place to land the sculpture

About a week

This design is a sudden inspiration when I see the panda by chance. I don't have any entrustment. I just want to create it myself

I intend to sell or lease its production rights

I want to pursue the combination of sculpture and public facilities to enhance the interaction between sculpture and the public

Although my inspiration comes from the panda, I created it in a minimalist way. The name "arc" can better reflect the concept of the work and guide people to think about the sculpture

Large but not congested, and with the function of public seats, the beautiful arc can add an interesting and beautiful feeling to the surrounding city

It was designed by myself

The function of public facilities and the choice of public space are studied

Looking for the most suitable space form for commercial square has the value-added value of public sculpture and the function of public facilities

I have had a strong interest in art since I was young, and I enjoy painting, sculpture, and handicrafts. As I grow older, I realize that art is not just a personal expression, but also a way to communicate and interact with others. So, I began to explore and express my understanding and ideas about urban space through art.

In the process of learning, I came into contact with public art, which fascinated me. Public art not only has aesthetic value, but also can bring vitality and cultural atmosphere to urban space. I want to create art works that can interact and exchange with the public through my own efforts, injecting new vitality and vitality into urban spaces.

As a public art designer, I feel very lucky and proud. My job is to improve urban space through artistic means and provide citizens with a beautiful life experience. I am able to create a more beautiful, comfortable, and cultural environment for the city through my own efforts and creativity.

Choose to be a designer

I hope to design works with unique charm and personality that are closely connected to urban space and citizen life, injecting new vitality and vitality into the city, and making art a part of the city's spirit.

1: Enhance observation and insight
2: Enhance creativity and imagination
3: Enhance professional skills and knowledge
4: Enhance communication and collaboration skills
5: Continuous learning and innovation
6: Cultivate a sense of responsibility and social awareness

In my opinion, a good designer should not only have outstanding design ability, but also personal ability, thinking, cultivation and vision.

As a public art designer, I believe that good design should be able to meet the needs and expectations of the public, have uniqueness and individuality, reflect social value and significance, focus on practicality and functionality, and pay attention to environmental protection and sustainable development.

Excellent public art works have various values, including enhancing the image and quality of the city, enhancing the public's sense of identity and belonging, promoting social exchange and interaction, promoting the development of culture and art, and improving the quality of life of urban residents. These values have been widely recognized and valued, and are of great significance for the development and progress of cities.

Everyone who needs me

I want to make my public art works become the landmark of a city

Artistic, public and people oriented

Christopher, Bernard Venet

Public art

Learning professional knowledge, practicing skills and expression techniques, participating in exhibitions and competitions, collaborating with other designers and artists, paying attention to social development and public needs, continuous learning and innovation

Public art is the art of public space in the form of sculpture, architecture, public facilities and image art. Its development space lies not only in the unique symbol of urban construction on the material level, but also in people's soul and spiritual guidance. Whether it is urban public art or rural public art, we should adjust measures to local conditions, respect the people, not just decoration.

Parents and teachers

Love and effort

I hope you will pay more attention to public art

The design will be more based on the "human" operation system itself, focusing on sustainability and regeneration. The designer will have to become a psychologist, not only to meet the functional needs, but also to meet the emotional needs,

One week, one month

First of all, I need to know which city I want to design for, and then to understand the history, humanities, environment and other factors of this city, collect materials, sort out ideas, and finally design and change

Art changes life, design creates the future

Better performance of the design effect, and ultimately achieve the design

Christopher, Bernard Venet

My design works cover multiple fields and types, including sculpture, installations, public facilities, environmental art, and cultural activities, aiming to improve the urban environment and public quality of life through art and design. My design emphasizes innovation and experimentation, while also focusing on functionality and practicality, hoping to contribute to the development and progress of the city.

A public sculpture or installation

As a public art designer, I enjoy many design types and styles because each design has its unique charm and value.

In the middle of the night when nobody is quiet

Artistic, public and people oriented

Happy and peaceful

Satisfaction and happiness

Think clearly why to do this design, for whom to design, how to achieve the design purpose, and then seriously do the design process, and finally carefully analyze the completed design

Thought, space, margin, subtraction, scale, density, orientation

As the main body of design creation, designers' design must be used to improve people's living conditions and environment, and create better living conditions and combined services for people“ "Design for the benefit of mankind" is not only the requirement of society for designers, but also the lofty social responsibility of designers

The design will be more based on the "human" operation system itself, focusing on sustainability and regeneration. The designer will have to become a psychologist, not only to meet the functional needs, but also to meet the emotional needs,

Life, everything around us and social problems

I don't put too much emphasis on my own style, but rather create public art of its own style for every city

First of all, I need to know which city I want to design for, and then to understand the history, humanities, environment and other factors of this city, collect materials, sort out ideas, and finally design and change

Aesthetic appreciation ability, basic knowledge of fine arts, connotation and cultural heritage, stand in other perspectives to see their own design, and learn from qualified people

The evolution of all things in the universe, whether it is the macroscopic operation of galaxies or the microscopic interaction of particles, follows an intertwined process of inverse entropy and entropy increase. In this process, information serves as the main thread, leading all changes and developments. I deeply feel that this evolution process is both mysterious and magnificent, as if it is a door that exists in human thinking. Through this door, we can glimpse the mysteries of life and the true meaning of the universe.In addition, the opening of this door also symbolizes the openness and inclusiveness of human thinking. I believe that evolution exists not only in the universe, but also in human thinking. Our thinking, like this door, needs to remain open and inclusive at all times in order to constantly accept new knowledge and ideas, and promote the progress and development of human society. Therefore, making the central space open like a door is a profound understanding and artistic expression of my evolution process. I hope that through this work, it can stimulate the audience's thinking about the universe, life, and evolution, and inspire their courage and enthusiasm to explore the unknown world.

Firstly, in terms of material selection, I chose steel as the main material. Steel not only has high strength and toughness, can withstand huge loads, but also is easy to process and weld, which can meet my needs for curved shapes and void design. Through precise steel cutting and welding techniques, I ensured that all parts of the sculpture could be tightly connected together, forming a stable and sturdy whole.Secondly, in terms of structural design, I adopted a modular assembly method. Decompose the entire sculpture into multiple relatively independent modules, each designed and processed separately. This method not only reduces the difficulty of processing and installation, but also helps improve the accuracy and consistency of sculptures. During the assembly process, I used precise measurement and positioning techniques to ensure that each module could be accurately installed in the predetermined position, thereby achieving the integrity and stability of the overall structure.In addition, I also employed advanced computer simulation techniques to optimize the form and structure of the sculpture. Through computer simulation, I can conduct detailed analysis and prediction of the stress situation of sculptures, in order to identify potential structural problems and make improvements. This method not only improves the safety of sculptures, but also helps me better understand the relationship between the form and structure of sculptures, providing strong support for subsequent processing and installation.

In order to attract different audiences, I focus on the interactivity and interpretability of my works. By designing open forms and blank spaces, I encourage the audience to participate in the interpretation of the work and give it new meaning based on their own experience and imagination. This interactivity not only enhances the audience's sense of participation, but also allows the work to reach a wider audience of different backgrounds and cultures.

Firstly, I delved into Brian Greene's book 'Until the End of Time', particularly its discourse on how the universe, life, and consciousness emerged through the interweaving of evolution and entropy. These concepts of theoretical physics are both a challenge and a source of inspiration for me. I am trying to understand the core ideas behind these complex theories, especially how they reveal the essence of the evolution of all things in the universe.Next, I started thinking about how to transform these abstract theories into concrete visual images. I realized that the evolution of all things in the universe is itself an information technology system, like a door that leads us to explore the mysteries of life. This metaphor became the core metaphor of my creation. I have decided to use "The Gate of Evolution" as the theme of my work and present this metaphor through visual art.In the design process, I chose curves as the main design language. Curves not only have the simplicity of straight lines, but also blend softness and motion, which can well express the dynamic continuity of thinking and the inclusiveness of all things. I have constructed a sculptural form that is both visually impactful and symbolically meaningful through the interweaving and variation of curves. This form not only represents the infinite vastness and dynamic changes of the universe, but also metaphorically represents the profound insights into life and evolution in human thinking.At the same time, I left a blank space in the sculpture, forming a non-circular "door of evolution". This design not only increases the sense of hierarchy and space in the work, but also implies the uncertainty and futurism of evolution. The design of the door, with its ability to increase and decrease, and to foster evolution, is an intuitive expression of the natural selection force behind the gradual evolution of living systems.

The sculpture of 'Evolution' that I envision is designed to spark public curiosity and exploration through its unique form and language. The blank 'Gate of Evolution' invites the public into a space of thought and imagination, exploring the mysteries of life and the universe. Allow people to pause in front of the sculpture, some gazing at its form, attempting to decipher the mysteries of the universe from it; Some have passed through the "door of evolution", as if experiencing firsthand the process of evolution from chaos to order. Some people choose to take photos next to sculptures or share their insights with family and friends.

Firstly, forged steel structures have strong symbolic significance. Steel, as an industrial material, represents the progress of human civilization and the development of technology. It forms an interesting contrast and connection with the theme of cosmic evolution. The evolution of the universe is a long and complex process, and steel is a product of human intelligence and labor. This comparison shows me the possibility of combining the two. Through the medium of steel, I can combine the grand narrative of cosmic evolution with the micro perspective of human civilization, exploring the profound connections between life, consciousness, and the universe.Secondly, the shape shaping ability of forged steel structures is very strong. The rigidity and plasticity of steel enable it to exhibit various complex forms and details. In addition, forged steel structures also have good durability and corrosion resistance. This means that my works can be preserved in outdoor environments for a long time and withstand the test of time. This is crucial for public art, as it requires long-term interaction and communication with the audience.

As the project progressed, I further realized that the relationship between entropy and evolution can be understood from a broader perspective. The universe itself is a large information technology system that constantly performs calculations and manufacturing, creating various complex structures and phenomena. In this process, entropy and evolution are like two interacting forces, jointly driving the evolution of the universe. The principle of entropy increase provides the driving force and direction for the evolution of the universe, while the process of evolution continuously creates new ordered structures and functions through the transmission and processing of information, providing possibilities for the diversity and complexity of the universe.

Firstly, from a morphological perspective, the door shaped blank creates a void area in the solid form of the sculpture. It is not complete or perfectly circular, but presents a constantly changing state of increase and decrease. This form itself implies the essence of evolution - a process of continuous adaptation and optimization. Just as human intelligence and spirit have constantly faced challenges and learned throughout the long course of history, they have achieved leaps from simplicity to complexity and from low to high.Secondly, the "door of evolution" symbolized by the gate shaped blank exists both in the universe and in human thinking. It represents our desire and exploration of the unknown world, serving as a bridge connecting reality and ideals, finite and infinite. Just as humans constantly expand the boundaries of cognition through the development of intelligence, attempting to unravel the mysteries of the universe and find the true meaning of life. This spirit of exploration is an important driving force for the evolution of human intelligence and spirit.Finally, the door shaped blank, as an important element in sculpture, also reflects the deep integration of art and science. It expresses the inherent connections between complex concepts such as the universe, life, and consciousness in a poetic way, guiding the audience to reflect on human intelligence and spiritual evolution while appreciating art. This kind of thinking not only helps us better understand ourselves, but also inspires us to explore and imagine the future.

Firstly, from a scientific perspective, the concepts of inverse entropy and entropy increase contained in "Evolution", as well as the viewpoint that everything in the universe evolves around the information mainline, are profound interpretations of modern scientific theories. This work can serve as a starting point to guide the public towards a deeper understanding of the mysteries of the universe, the origin of life, and the essence of information technology. Through the form of art, scientific theories can be vividly presented, thereby stimulating people's enthusiasm and curiosity for scientific exploration.Secondly, in the field of art, the design concept and expression form of "Evolution" reflect the deep integration of art and science. The work cleverly conveys the dynamic process of evolution and the infinite possibilities of thinking through flat curves and blank door shaped elements. This artistic technique not only enriches the language of artistic creation, but also provides new creative inspiration and ideas for artists. Through this work, artists can explore the intersection of science and art more freely, creating more art works with depth and breadth.Finally, in terms of public space, "Evolution" as a large-scale public art installation will become a beautiful landscape in urban space. It not only beautifies the urban environment, but more importantly, provides a platform for citizens to think and communicate. People can stop in front of works to appreciate and contemplate the significance of evolution, the future of humanity, and the relationship between art and science. This kind of interaction and dialogue will help enhance the cultural literacy and aesthetic awareness of citizens, while also injecting new vitality into the cultural construction of the city.

Firstly, I conducted in-depth research and analysis on the tree shapes in literati paintings of the Song Dynasty. The literati paintings of the Song Dynasty are known for their simplicity and elegance, with trees often outlined in lines, naturally shaped, and full of vitality. I particularly noticed the branches, leaves, and overall posture of the trees in these paintings, which often depict the rhythm and tempo of nature with minimalist brushstrokes.I faced a significant challenge in transforming these classical aesthetic elements into sculptural forms. Sculpture and painting are two different forms of art, with painting emphasizing composition and color application on a flat surface, while sculpture requires shaping forms in three-dimensional space. Therefore, I need to carry out three-dimensional transformation and innovation while maintaining the essence of tree shapes in Song Dynasty literati paintings.In the creative process, I pay special attention to maintaining the cultural significance of tree shapes in Song Dynasty literati paintings. These trees are not only symbols of nature, but also carriers for literati to express emotions and artistic conception. Therefore, in sculpture, I convey profound themes such as the relationship between humans and nature and human interference in nature through the form, posture, and combination with other elements of trees. These themes not only echo the artistic conception of Song Dynasty literati paintings, but also conform to contemporary society's concern for environmental protection and ecological balance.

In the rural environment where I grew up, trees were not only symbols of nature, but also carried various human needs. I remember that villagers would cool off and chat under the trees, children would play under the shade of trees, and the trees themselves silently provided fruits, wood, and even became tools for drying clothes and blankets. Although these scenes may seem ordinary, they planted the seeds of contemplation on the relationship between nature and humanity in my young mind.I have always felt a sense of pity and sadness towards trees since I was young. As a part of nature, trees should grow and flourish freely, but they have to bear various human needs and pressures. This feeling became even more profound as I grew up, and I began to realize that human intervention in nature is not just about the use of trees, but also a destruction of the entire ecosystem.These early observations shaped my unique perspective on art. I believe that art is not only a pursuit of beauty, but also a profound reflection and criticism of the real world. When creating 'Intervention', I chose trees and cloth as symbolic elements. Trees symbolize nature, while cloth symbolizes human intervention in nature. Through the form of sculpture, I present this relationship in an intuitive and vivid way, allowing the audience to feel the sadness and helplessness of nature in silent endurance.

Although the size of the actual work draft is relatively small at present, I hope that the final work presentation size can create an immersive environment, allowing the audience to more directly feel the information and emotions conveyed by the work. I chose to set the size of each individual sculpture to be about 4.8 meters long, 1.5 meters wide, and 2.5 meters high. This size gives the sculpture a certain sense of volume and presence in space, which can attract the audience's attention and guide them into the context created by the work.

Firstly, the different exhibition spaces provide diverse display backgrounds for the works. In professional art halls like Shandong Art Museum, works are placed in a more solemn and formal exhibition environment, which helps the audience to examine and reflect on the ecological information conveyed by the works with a more serious and focused attitude. The 798 Art District, with its unique industrial style and modern art atmosphere, adds a more avant-garde and open interpretation space to the works, allowing audiences to appreciate the works while also feeling the more complex relationship between art and the ecological environment.Secondly, different audience groups also exhibit diversity in their interpretations of the work. At Shandong Art Museum, the audience may come more from the academic and artistic circles, and their understanding of the works is often deeper and more professional, able to explore the ecological concepts and humanistic concerns expressed in the works from a more detailed perspective. In the 798 Art District, the audience is more diverse, including young people, artists, tourists, etc. Their interpretation of the works may be more intuitive and emotional, paying more attention to the visual impact and emotional resonance created by the works.This diverse and differentiated interpretation not only enriches the connotation of the work, but also makes me more deeply aware of the complexity and challenges of conveying ecological information. In different exhibition spaces and audience groups, the ecological information conveyed by works may be endowed with different meanings and values, which also prompts me to constantly reflect and deepen my understanding and comprehension of ecological issues.

Firstly, the award further highlights the important position of ecological art in the field of contemporary art. It indicates that exploring and reflecting on environmental issues through artistic forms has become an important direction in contemporary art creation. This not only helps to raise public awareness of environmental issues, but also inspires more artists to engage in ecological art creation, jointly promoting the popularization and deepening of environmental awareness.Secondly, the award has also promoted the dissemination and discussion of environmental awareness at a broader societal level. Through media coverage and exhibition displays, more people have begun to pay attention to the field of ecological art and begun to consider the relationship between environmental issues and artistic creation. This discussion and reflection will help promote the attention and action of all sectors of society towards environmental issues, thereby contributing to the realization of sustainable development and ecological civilization construction.

Firstly, as a material, transparent resin itself has extremely high transparency and purity, which creates an ethereal and profound visual effect for the work. Through 3D printing technology, I am able to precisely control the layering and shape of the resin, allowing the sculpture to present delicate and rich light and shadow changes under the illumination of light. This change not only enhances the spatial sense of the work, but also allows viewers to feel a mysterious experience that seems to penetrate matter and look directly at the essence while viewing.Secondly, the material properties of transparent resin give the work a contradictory beauty of lightness and heaviness. Although the resin itself is lightweight, when I shape it into a sturdy tree trunk and wrap it with fabric, the work conveys a heavy ecological issue. This contrast between lightness and heaviness not only enhances the drama and impact of the work, but also allows viewers to deeply contemplate the relationship between humans and nature while experiencing the beauty of the work.In addition, I have also found that transparent resins have unique advantages in expressing natural properties. By adjusting the transparency and color of the resin, I am able to simulate the mottled light and shadow of leaves, the rough texture of bark, and the softness and wrinkles of fabric. These delicate expressions make the work more natural and vivid. At the same time, the transparent resin material also creates a sense of flow and change in the space, as if the vitality and energy of nature are surging within it.

I firmly believe that the aesthetic appeal of an artwork is the foundation for conveying information and eliciting resonance. Therefore, when creating 'Intervention', I focused on shaping the form and texture of the work through exquisite craftsmanship and clever design, making it highly artistic and aesthetically appealing. The selection of transparent resin and the application of 3D printing technology not only present delicate and realistic textures in the works, but also create a mysterious and tragic atmosphere through the changes of light and shadow, attracting the attention of viewers and inspiring their emotional resonance.However, simply pursuing aesthetic appeal is not enough. As an artist, I am well aware of my mission to convey ecological information and awaken people's environmental awareness through art works. Therefore, when creating 'Intervention', I deliberately combined the images of trees and cloth to symbolize human interference and destruction of nature, and strengthened this ecological theme through the overall design and detail processing of the work. At the same time, I also incorporated the traditional tree shaped elements from Song Dynasty literati paintings into the sculpture, not only retaining the charm of classical Chinese aesthetics, but also making the work more in line with the aesthetic needs of modern people, making it easier for viewers to accept and understand.

Firstly, I chose "tree" and "cloth" as the core visual elements. Trees, as symbols of nature, represent life, growth, and harmony; And cloth represents the interference and coverage of human activities on nature. By combining these two together, I attempt to convey a strong contrast and conflict - the disharmony between the beauty of nature and human behavior.At the same time, by adjusting the size, form, and layout of the sculpture, I created a space that seemed oppressed and suffocated, allowing the audience to feel a strong sense of oppression while watching. This sense of oppression not only comes from the form and material of the sculpture itself, but also from the environmental consequences it implies - the destruction and deprivation of nature by human activities.In addition, I cleverly utilized the material properties of transparent resin, creating a mysterious and tragic atmosphere through the changes and refractions of light and shadow. This atmosphere not only enhances the visual impact of the work, but also allows the audience to generate more associations and thoughts while watching. They may think of the beauty and fragility of nature, the consequences and responsibilities of human activities, and even their relationship with the world.

Traditional Chinese aesthetics has always been one of the sources of inspiration for my creations. In my works, I drew inspiration from the tree shaped elements in Song Dynasty literati paintings and combined them with contemporary sculpture art to create works that have both classical charm and modernity. This cross era integration has made me realize that traditional Chinese aesthetics not only has a profound historical heritage, but also can be integrated with contemporary art language, radiating new vitality. Therefore, in my future works, I will continue to delve deeper into the essence of traditional Chinese aesthetics, attempting to combine it with more contemporary art forms to create more unique and charming artworks.Secondly, the development of contemporary technology has provided more possibilities for artistic creation. The 3D printing technology in the work is a typical example. Through this technology, I am able to shape works with unprecedented precision and efficiency, achieving effects that are difficult to achieve with traditional sculpture techniques. The application of this technology not only improves the production efficiency of works, but also brings more innovative space for the form and texture of works. Therefore, in future creations, I will pay more attention to the development of contemporary technology, explore its integration with artistic creation, and continuously promote innovation and development of art forms.Finally, environmental advocacy was one of the important driving forces behind my creation of 'Intervention'. Through this work, I hope to raise people's awareness of environmental issues and encourage them to re-examine their relationship with nature. In my future works, I will continue to focus on environmental issues and use artistic forms to convey environmental concepts and inspire more people's awareness of environmental protection. At the same time, I will also try to incorporate more environmentally friendly materials and sustainable design concepts into my works to achieve the dual value of art and environmental protection.
