About Pulse Liichtinstallatioun

Pulse ass eng Liichtinstallatioun, déi fir d'Taiwan Lantern Festival 2022 am nationale Weiwuying Park zu Kaohsiung geschaf gouf. D'Installatioun dréckt d'emotional Zoustänn vun neien Immigranten duerch Liicht a Kläng aus. D'Struktur besteet aus Stohlréier, mat engem Faserg netz, dat op all Rouer tëscht engem uewenzege Réngk an enger gewellter Basis befestegt ass. LED-Liichtstreifen ginn digital gesteiert, fir der Hannergrondmusek ze folgen, déi speziell fir dëst Wierk komponéiert gouf. De Pavillon gëtt bei Sonnenënnergang beliicht, an all drësseg Minutten gëtt eng dräi Minutte laang Liichtshow gewisen. Pulse mësst 7 Meter breet, 7,8 Meter déif an 5,8 Meter héich.

Unique Properties: Pulse incorporates digital technology with the organic form of structure to represent the emotional states. As the main lighting installation for the new immigrants theme, the lighting installation is located in the national Weiwuying park, Kaohsiung during the Taiwan Lantern Festival 2022.
Dimensions & Packaging: 7 meter width, 7.8 meter depth, 5.8 meter height
Tags: Art Installation, Pavilion, Lighting Installation, White, Structure
Production Technology: The structure mainly employs steel tubes in different diameters, allocated adequately with structural loads. The fiber mesh is installed on each steel tube that connects the top ring and bottom waved structure. The LED light strip and the bottom steel structure are digitally controlled to match the background sounds.
Design Challenge: The most challenging aspect of this project is to integrate digital lighting with a physical steel structure. However, lighting scenarios and structural design were nicely coordinated to overcome the challenges.
Research: Pulse visualizes the emotional states of immigrants when they enter a new realm. It appears to be still, yet sometimes beats harshly and sometimes expresses slowly. Migrating to a new environment has all kinds of feelings, including hope, excitement, nervousness, fear, and joy. There are many to expect during the process, difficulties to deal with, and challenges to face. These emotional waves are critical elements of a new journey, yet unable to share with new neighbors. Therefore, in the theme of new immigrants, we express the emotional condition with digitalized lighting and music with the surface of the metamorphosed pulse wave.
Inspiration: The concept of Pulse is to digitize the emotional into light signal. The LED stripe coheres with the background music, which specifically created for this installation.
Project Duration: 2021.10 Design Proposal
2021.11 Design Development
2022.01 Prefabrication in Taoyuan
2022.02 Completion in Kaohsiung
Operation Flow: The pavilion gets illuminated during the sunset moment. Then, the LED light stripe turns its color while the background sound starts. Once in thirty minutes, there are 3 minutes lighting show to express the emotional state of new immigrants.
