About Icy Fire Primarna funkcija: Imerzivna digitalna umjetnička instalacija

Tekst knjige: U ovoj imerzivnoj instalaciji paleta boja postupno prelazi iz hladnih u tople tonove kako se video odvija, predstavljajući razorne učinke globalnog zatopljenja. Međutim, ponovno smrzavanje teksta na kraju nudi tračak nade, simbolizirajući potencijal zajedničkih napora čovječanstva da pokrene promjenu. Ovo kreativno spajanje tradicionalnog slikarstva tušem s ekološkom sviješću uzdiže klasičnu umjetnost tuša u sferu suvremene prakse, naglašavajući trajnu vitalnost kineskog tuša u digitalnom dobu.

Unique Properties: The color palette shifts from cool to warm tones, symbolizing the distressing effects of global warming, yet the re-freezing of the text at the end of the video offers a glimmer of hope, signifying the potential impact of our collective efforts. The unique fusion of traditional ink painting with the concept of environmental consciousness propels classical ink art into the domain of contemporary art, showcasing the vitality of Chinese ink in the digital era.
Dimensions & Packaging: This is an immersive installation with digital ink generative video art projection on one wall with acrylic mirrors on the other three walls, as well as ceiling and floor. The dimension of the installation is 5.3m x 3m x 4m.
Tags: Digital Video Art, Immersive Installation, Contemporary Ink, Interactive Installation
Production Technology: This work began by hand-painted ink paintings on rice-paper. Next, converted these physical artworks into digital images using a high-resolution scanner. Finally, TouchDesigner is used to create dynamic movements, blending traditional techniques with digital elements to achieve an immersive installation beyond classical painting.
Design Challenge: Transformation of classical and contemporary ink painting techniques into postmodern digital video art and immersive installation.
Research: The color palette shifts from cool to warm tones, symbolizing the alarming effects of global warming, yet the re-freezing of the text at the end of the video offers a glimmer of hope, signifying the potential impact of our collective efforts.
Inspiration: Scientists’ statistics and predictions indicate that global warming could lead to catastrophic consequences for humanity. This international environmental crisis necessitates collective action from individuals and countries worldwide. The immersive digital ink generated video art installation, through the distinctive texture of Chinese ink painting and the language of geometric and gestural abstraction, depicts the transformation of a glacier from ice to fire.
Project Duration: This project started in Macao in 2023 and finished in 2024. The work was exhibited in Macao Museum of Art, Guangdong Museum of Art, Shenzhen Art Museum, and Glow Shenzhen 2024.
