The Design

About Crowd Gathering of Dots Instalación artística

Crowd Gathering of Dots es una instalación artística creada para el vestíbulo de un hotel en Tainan, Taiwán. La obra abarca una superficie de 100 metros cuadrados. Esferas cerámicas hechas a mano se disponen a lo largo del muro para sugerir el flujo y la tensión espacial de una multitud que se congrega. Cada esfera está acabada con un esmalte negro brillante que refleja la imagen de cada visitante. Al ser modeladas a mano, todas las esferas presentan ligeras diferencias entre sí. Unos soportes de bronce y dorado mantienen las esferas en su lugar, y la proyección de luz genera sombras tridimensionales cambiantes.

Production Technology: This installation art piece, Crowd gathering of dots, is full of strong emotions and strength, it creates a natural and beautiful visual experience for travelers. No matter what the purpose of the traveler is, they can find their spot here in this hotel.
Design Challenge: As we are also interior designers and relative experience in dealing with this art installation on marble walls, we understand its rigidity and the fixation mechanism behind the walls. We were able to design a point-to-point space, while at the same time presenting our ideal image of the visitor.
Research: Lake Shore Hotel is located in Tainan, a friendly city with a rich history, heritage and culture. We choose to make the ceramic balls by hand, because handmade, so every point is different and organic. Because it is made by hand, the production outcome is with its own characters. The surface is covered with a glossy black glaze, reflecting each visitor own look.
Inspiration: A journey is a rhythm of life, which to some extent must be suspended from the reality of life, just like a migrating bird that changes with the seasons.
A hotel is the stopping place of the trip, just like the warm south where the migrating bird resides. Lake Shore Hotel in Tainan, where the local customs are friendly and mild, is the station that makes travelers feel a sense of belonging.
Project Duration: Finished in 2019 in Lake Shore Hotel, Tainan City, Taiwan.
Operation Flow: By pre-planning the walls, we are able to control the layout of the whole picture and the right proportion of the units. To control the ceramics balls producing in the same shape and glaze color, but this is also a fascinating aspect of handcraft.
