The Design

About Dance with Life Offentlig Konst

Detta är ett offentligt konstverk gjord av rostfritt stål. Den är installerad i mitten av ett vattendrag i ett offentligt utrymme. Huvuddelen är sammansatt av två sammanflätade matematiska oändlighetssymboler. Den övergripande formen kombineras med en vinddriven struktur. Det uppträder vanligtvis i ett statiskt tillstånd, men när vinden är större än det strukturella motståndet kommer det att driva den vinddrivna enheten att rotera fritt. Konstverket symboliserar den oändliga friheten att utforska livet och förmedlar en positiv och hoppfull vision.

Production Technology: It is made of stainless steel, The metal surface includes 3 kinds of textures, such as mirror polishing and grinding, and titanium plating. In order to reduce the resistance caused by the weight of the parts, the two ends of the wind structure are composed of ball bearings and tapered bearings.
Design Challenge: The public art of wind structure is the spiritual value of this sculpture. The most difficult thing is to consider the wind-driven structure in the process of creating the sculptural form, and to combine the two into one in the perfect design aesthetics. This is a big challenge. But the process is very interesting.
Research: This wind-structured public sculpture is installed in a residential area of New Town. This is a very important landmark. Hope to make people feel the wonder between life and the universe, and also be full of expectations for the future.
Inspiration: Inspired by the ∞, the symbol of infinity in mathematics is ∞, which comes from the Latin infinitas, which means no boundary. This work takes it as the core, and uses bright stainless steel to construct a smooth and A shape with a sense of visual penetration.In order to enhance the overall details and aesthetic feeling, a group of golden wind-moving structures that can rotate naturally under the drive of the wind are set up by using the gap generated in the center of the two interlaced structures, conveying the spiritual symbol of the endless cycle of life.
Project Duration: The project started in March 2022 and finished with installation in Taichung,Taiwan in October 2022
Operation Flow: The installation position of the sculpture is at the center point of the main moving line. Visitors can interact and approach work from all directions. It is a popular object for photographers and tourists.
