- Unique Properties
- 'Tender Soul of Ocean' translates the concealed intricacies of the environment into visible lights, emphasizing the significance of nature's concealed messages. Positioned along the coastline, it allows viewers to immerse themselves in the mesmerizing flow of lights from diverse perspectives. The installation's lights adapt instantly to the wind's strength and direction, unveiling the subtle shifts in the breeze.

- lighting, installation, ocean, data scuplture, illumination
- Production Technology
- 'Tender Soul of Ocean' is crafted using flexible LED filament, distinct from conventional LEDs in its ability to emit light from all angles, providing viewers with a complete visual experience. This technology allows for the creation of a visually immersive LED matrix resembling a floating wave. The LED matrix comprises 42x20 LEDs, totaling 840 individual LEDs, each independently controlled via a DMX system. To capture real-time wind data, an anemorumbometer is employed, translating this data into a generative lighting program using Processing.
- Design Challenge
- The artwork employs Liquigleds Lighting Corp's liquid light strips. Given its installation in a demanding environment,a rainy, humid city along the coastline, and the material's vulnerability to breakage, conventional methods involved securing these strips inside glass containers. Consequently, significant time was dedicated to experimenting with various installation methods to ensure the strips' stability.
- Research
- While technology has expanded human capabilities, climate and environmental changes persist as crucial challenges. We aim to harness technology's potential to reveal the unseen natural environment, fostering heightened awareness of our surroundings. 'Tender of Soul' prompts viewers to contemplate enhancing awareness and perception through controlled illumination linked to natural information. This endeavor seeks to cultivate a deeper appreciation and more positive care for our planet Earth.
- Inspiration
- The artwork finds its inspiration in Keelung's ocean, nestled along the serene northern coast. This city is caressed by the damp, sea-infused air, where the salty breeze becomes a symbol and message from the ocean, touching every individual. In a silent understanding, the ocean and humanity seem to engage in a shared dialogue. 'Tender Soul of Ocean' delves into the profound separation between people and the sea.
- Project Duration
- Location: Keelung Maritime Plaza ,Keelung, Taiwan
Exhibition: 2022 Keelung City Expo - Operation Flow
- By converting wind data into an ever-evolving play of light, it delicately mimics the subtle changes in the air, leading individuals to become more attuned to the wind's nuances. Featuring a central walkway, the installation invites individuals to step into the light waves, offering a firsthand experience of the immersive luminous display.
