About Core Kinetic na Iskultura ng Ilaw

Ang Core ay isang kinetic na iskultura ng ilaw na hugis-pine cone. Ginawa ang Core para sa Kawabata Intcraft, isang 84 taong gulang na himpilan ng pulisya na may estilong Hapones sa Taipei. Ang iskultura ay binubuo ng 87 dahon na yari sa tanso na dahan-dahang bumubukas at nagsasara sa pamamagitan ng panloob na mekanismo. Ang mahinahong galaw nito ay kahawig ng paghinga, na nagbibigay-buhay sa makasaysayang gusali. Nakabitin ang Core mula sa mataas na kisame sa itaas ng isang spiral staircase, kaya't nakikita ng mga bisita ang iskultura mula sa nagbabagong mga anggulo habang umaakyat sa hagdanan. Ang inilalarawang ilaw ay nagbabago sa bawat siklo.

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.

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.
