About Core 키네틱 라이트 조각
Core는 솔방울 형태를 지닌 키네틱 라이트 조각이다. 이 작품은 타이베이에 위치한 84년 역사의 일본식 파출소 건물인 Kawabata Intcraft를 위해 제작되었다. 조각은 87개의 황동 잎으로 이루어져 있으며, 내부 기계 장치를 통해 천천히 열리고 닫힌다. 이 고요한 움직임은 호흡을 닮아 역사적 건축물에 생명의 감각을 부여한다. Core는 나선형 계단 위 높은 천장에 매달려 있어, 관람객은 계단을 오르며 변화하는 각도에서 조각을 감상하게 된다. 투영되는 빛 또한 매 주기마다 달라진다.

- 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
