About The Sea Vibes 裝置藝術

呢個裝置嘅設計運用咗海洋嘅語言——海浪,因為佢係為中國大連灣沿岸嘅一個住宅項目而設計。裝置係一個由雙層銅板構成嘅巨型圓柱體,由6000塊銅板按照特定嘅排列方式懸掛喺框架之中。當人哋圍住圓柱體行走嘅時候,呢個裝置就好似一浪接一浪嘅海浪咁。當銅板喺海風之中擺動,就會反射出閃爍嘅光同色彩,象徵住浪花。呢個設計以一個固定嘅裝置重現咗海浪嘅氣息。

Unique Properties: This installation was designed using the language of the sea: waves, as it was for a residential project built along the shore of Dalian Bay, China. The installation is a huge cylinder formed by double-layer copper plates. It consists of 6000 plates which were hung in the frame according to specific permutation. When you walk around the cylinder, it looks like waves running one after another. When the plates dance in the sea wind, flashing light and colors are reflected, just like spindrift.
Dimensions & Packaging: 8 meters in diameter
Tags: SUNAC, Sea vibes, cylinder
Production Technology: Double cooper plates, cylinder frame
Design Challenge: How to give the fixed installation a movement that resembles the endless waves of the sea was the biggest challenge. In the end the cylinder form with hanging cooper plates was the best sollution.
Research: As the residential project is built along the shore of Dalian Bay of China, the first thing capture our eyes is the specific feature of the project: the SEA. This inspires us to design an installation at the entrance using the language of the sea:waves, in order to echo the sea. As a matter as fact we further applied this language to the whole space of the demonstrate center, including: the logo, lamps and signage, making the space visually a whole.
