About Wind Crystals Primang Gawain: Instalasyong Sining

Ang Wind Crystals ay isang instalasyong sining sa labas na itinayo sa Budai County, Taiwan. Ginugunita ng gawa ang lokal na industriya ng asin sa pamamagitan ng mga anyong nakabatay sa mga kristal ng asin. Ang kahoy na mahogany ay pinuputol sa dalawang espesyal na anggulo upang lumikha ng matulis at maraming-panig na balangkas, na pinagdurugtong sa isang truss na istrukturang malayang maaaring palawigin. Dalawang uri lamang ng bahagi ang bumubuo sa kabuuan, kaya't inihahanda ang mga bahagi sa isang pabrika at pinananatiling maikli ang oras ng pagbubuo sa lugar. Sumasaklaw ang instalasyon sa 24 na metro kwadrado at umiikot kasabay ng hangin ng dagat, sinusundan ang liwanag at anino sa tabi ng baybayin.

Unique Properties: At the invitation of government, we designed this installation using salt crystals. The salt industry in BuDai County has become a memory, while the sea breeze and sun are still present. The mahogany wood is used to create a tapered frame that connects the crystallized salt to form a truss structure that can be extended freely. When the sea breeze blows, it rotates according to the wind direction and strength of the wind, chasing the light and the shadow, and the murmur of BuDai County.
Dimensions & Packaging: 24 square meters in full size.
Tags: installation art, light installation, salt crystal, culture
Production Technology: The salt crystals are polygonal in shape, so the overall shape is a combination of polygons constructed from wood, arranged in an irregular way to show the natural composition of the salt as it is pushed into a pile. The polygon is made of wood to create an outer contour and an inner structure that can interact with the wind, giving the whole piece not only an image of salt crystals, but also a sense of the importance of natural elements to the salt industry in terms of finishing.
Design Challenge: Considering the convenience of fabrication, the design of the whole body is composed of only two different components: component A, which is composed of the top and bottom, and component B, which is composed of the middle.
Research: Because the module is not a cube, it will present a multi-angle organic shape after assembly. In production, the wood is not cut at a complete 90 degree angle, but at two special angles that allow the triangular surfaces to be completely reunited. Through the modular approach, the basic shapes are processed in the factory, keeping the on-site assembly time to a minimum.
Inspiration: In order to stimulate the local tourism industry, the government in Taiwan planned a landscape art season and invited four Taiwanese artists to create landscape artworks using a variety of materials such as bamboo, wood, wood chips, iron, woven string, and laser light to illustrate the dialogue between light and shadow. Therefore, we use salt crystals to describe the salt industry scene in the past.
Project Duration: It was built in July 2020 in Taiwan.
Operation Flow: In addition to boosting the tourism industry, we hope that through this art installation, people can learn about the local culture and history in a short period of time. Southwest Coast is a coastal township by the Taiwan Strait. The area is mainly a rural area in western Taiwan, with agriculture, fishing, and salt as the main industries. The people who have participated in the salt industry for 338 years have not only left behind a fascinating history of salt industry and a touching salt literature, but also the salt relics that have added a touch of white tone to the southwest coastal sea.
