About Tide and Stream Kunstinstallasjon
Tide and Stream er en kunstinstallasjon skapt for en bygning i Guangzhou. Den øvre gjennomsiktige delen representerer tidevannet og står for ting som er brakt til Guangzhou fra andre steder. De fargerike elementene er ment å tiltrekke unge mennesker. Den nedre metalldelen står for strømmen og representerer lokale innenlandske ting som er sterke og rike på mening. Skrifttegn som bærer kantonesisk kultur og livsholdningen til folket i Guangzhou, vises der som bevegelige typeplater. Installasjonen er laget av champagnegult rustfritt stål, gjennomsiktig akryl og silketrykket rustfritt stål.

- Design Challenge
- Digital design method was applied for 3D modeling when designing the installation. Since the artist hoped it would be a building entity, structural calculation and incident light calculation were carried out during the design process. The space underneath the installation is the first overhead layer of the building. The streamlined metal shape can form flowing air at the bottom of the building, while allowing natural light to refract at the bottom of and inside the building.
- Research
- The artist hoped the exquisite and gorgeous appearance could attract young people fond of contemporary art to appreciate the installation. They might discover what's in and behind the installation during the process of appreciation and finally get interested and think about it. The artist provided a trigger point for the audience to reflect on and think about traditional local culture, hoping more people to know about Guangzhou, an ancient and special city, from its developmental history to unique inclusiveness and to its particular role in world cultural exchange and integration.
- Inspiration
- Through years of the observation of the Pearl River tides, the designer discovered something interesting: the river water is cyan blue at high tide, and is mostly chartreuse at low tide. Cyan blue is the color of the sea while chartreuse is the color of upstream rivers. It seems to tell us the amusing phenomenon that when tides and streams converge, tides flow upward to the land and streams downward to the sea. Based on that, the design team created the artistic installation, Tide and Stream.
- Project Duration
- The project started in October 2019 and finished in December 2019 in Guangzhou.
- Operation Flow
- The designers used an artistically abstract way to express the phenomenon of tide upward and stream downward; tried to describe the similar scene where the Chinese and Western cultures collide in Guangzhou; and hoped to make visitors understand the inclusiveness of Guangzhou culture.
