About Nirvana Kineetiline Heliinstallatsioon
Nirvana ühendab traditsiooni ja tehnoloogiat, esitledes mootoriga varustatud puuriste maatriksit, mis on traditsiooniline Ida-Aasia rituaalinstrument. Iga instrument sisaldab automatiseeritud löögimehanismi, mis on sünkroniseeritud füüsilise arvutamise kaudu, luues rütmilisi helimustreid. Kompositsioon köidab visuaalselt, ühendades käsitööna valmistatud vorme mehaanilise täpsusega ning rõhutades innovatsiooni läbi mineviku rituaalide ja kaasaegse kineetilise kunsti vahelise harmoonia.

- Realization Technology: Physical Computing
Materials: Solid Wood, Plywood, DC Motor, Sensor, Customized PCB Boards - Design Challenge
- The primary challenge was mastering physical computing to synchronize 96 motors for perfect operation. Another hurdle was developing a robust connection mechanism. This required multiple iterations of custom 3D-printed parts to securely grip the Wooden Fish and mallets. The design process involved several rounds of modifications before reaching the final version. Additionally, incorporating CNC technology to cut plywood presented its own set of challenges. These technical obstacles demanded innovative problem-solving, blending traditional craftsmanship with modern fabrication techniques to realize the ambitious vision of "Nirvana."
- Inspiration
- "Nirvana" is a word from the Buddhist concept of enlightenment and the role of rhythmic sound in spiritual practices. The Wooden Fish, traditionally used to maintain focus during meditation, symbolizes mindfulness and spiritual journey. This project demonstrates how technology can enhance and recontextualize spiritual practices. Merging Buddhist elements with contemporary art and technology invites viewers to contemplate their spiritual journey and the pursuit of inner peace.
- Project Duration
- The project started in January 2024 in New York, finished in May 2024 in New York, and was exhibited in the ITP Spring Show in May 2024.
- Operation Flow
- "Nirvana" is an autonomous installation that operates independently of audience presence. The Buddhist wooden fish instruments are continuously struck by motor-controlled mallets, generating an unceasing soundscape. This autonomous operation creates a powerful, immersive environment, drawing the audience into its rhythmic and spiritual essence.
