About Core Sary sokitra hazavana mihetsika

Ny Core dia sary sokitra hazavana mihetsika izay endriny toy ny voan-kesika. Ny Core dia natao ho an'ny Kawabata Intcraft, birao polisy an-tsitrapo japoney efa 84 taona any Taipei. Ny sary sokitra dia vita amin'ny ravina volamena 87 izay misokatra sy mihidy miadana amin'ny alalan'ny mekanisma anaty. Ny fihetsiny milamina dia mitovy amin'ny fisefoana ka manome fahatsapana velona ilay trano manan-tantara. Ny Core dia miantona avy amin'ny tafo avo eo ambonin'ny tohatra spirally, ka ny mpitsidika mahita ny sary sokitra amin'ny zoro miova rehefa miakatra ny tohatra. Ny hazavana aporofo dia miova isaky ny fihodinana iray.

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.
Dimensions & Packaging: L: 85cm, W: 85cm, H: 90cm

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.
