About Core キネティック・ライト・スカルプチャー
「Core」は松ぼっくりの形をしたキネティック・ライト・スカルプチャーである。本作は、台北にある築84年の日本式派出所を改修した施設「Kawabata Intcraft」のために制作された。彫刻は87枚の真鍮製のリーフで構成され、内部機構によってゆっくりと開閉を繰り返す。その静かな動きは呼吸を思わせ、歴史ある建物に生命の気配を与える。「Core」は螺旋階段の上部、高い天井から吊り下げられており、来訪者は階段を上りながら移り変わる角度から作品を眺めることができる。投影される光もまた、動作のサイクルごとに表情を変えていく。

- Unique Properties
- Core is a kinetic light sculpture in the shape of pine cone made for Kawabata Intcraft, an 84-year-old Japanese-style police office. The copper leaves on the surface slowly open and close through inner mechanical structures. At the same time, the breathing-like movement transforms the building into a living body, symbolizing a breathing heart. To present the harmony of movement and light, different materials were combined and various types of mechanism were designed. Core, as a showcase of creators' exquisite craftmanship, is not only a form representation of nature but also the living symbol of architecture.

- Production Technology
- Core is made out of 87 unique brass pieces, this project greatly relies on precise mechanical engineering. Each part is detailed crafted in collaboration with a self-made CNC machine. All parts are completed after incessant modifications and improvements on materials, fabrication, and lighting.
- Design Challenge
- To resemble the opening and closing states of pine cones, the reciprocating screws were used to trigger 12 central structures and connect 87 brass leaves to express the dynamic movement and contraction.
- Inspiration
- The purpose of this project is to study the relationship between artistic sculpture and historical building. When we learned that the building was supposed to be demolished but actually preserved, we hoped to bring it back to life in an artistic way. The concept and name "Core" was born accordingly, in the shape of pine cone to resembles eternity.
- Project Duration
- The project started in March 2020 in Taiwan, Taipei and finished in January 2021. It is now permanently exhibited in Kawabata Intcraft.
- Operation Flow
- This project is placed on a high ceiling directly above the spiral staircase.
Going up from the base floor, the viewer will be looking up at the artwork and then to the eye-level angle, creating rich perspectives and interaction. With regular opening and closing of the artwork, the projected light makes the entire space feel like breathing deeply. - Team Members
