About Dance with Life 公共藝術

這是一件由不銹鋼製成的公共藝術作品。它安裝在公共空間水景的中心。主體由兩個交織的數學無窮符號所組成。整體造型與風動結構結合。它通常以靜止狀態出現，但當風力大於結構阻力時，就會帶動風力驅動裝置自由旋轉。作品象徵對生命探索的無限自由，傳遞出積極向上、充滿希望的願景。

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.
