| DESIGN NAME: Yulia Mariana PRIMARY FUNCTION: Light Installation INSPIRATION: Yulia Mariana is named after a virtual figure skater. She performs in the ice arena like a star. The concept of the arena was originated from the Mobius ring. The endless loop also created a dynamic image of the jumps in a figure skating. UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This light installation is intended to be displayed with light projected from bottom. The fixture is also displayed in daytime as a piece of art installation. The Mobius has been featured by linear openings with sharp edges as the ice skates. The tracks of hand gestures are interlaced with skate paths in three transparent strips as part of endless and smooth loops. The fixture has a floating image with the support integrated with base. OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: This installation is intended to be displayed statically. The interaction is made possible by guiding the line of sight around it to seek for the beginning or end point as the audiences actually experience the entire show of figure skate. The USB-powered rechargeable base light has switch on bottom. Light is turned on or off by pressing the base box in a two levels of intensity. PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: This project started as early as 2017 in Taipei. A various types of 3D printing materials and opening vocabularies were applied in several on-and-off preliminary tests. The white nylon main body was printed a week ago. The duration was about two weeks with intensive works. FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Fine Arts and Art Installation Design |
PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: Figure skating is made of many types of body languages. Accordingly the entire setup was divided into body, base, and connector. The main body is the 3D printed Mobius ring integrated with linear elements for the tracks of skates, hands, and body. The connector in between symbolizes the skate path. The base is designed with the connector perfectly fit into two cubes and the box. SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: The size is 33cm(W) x 60cm(H) x 23cm(D). TAGS: light installation, 3D RP, figure skate RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Researches were made to the composition of materials or elements with continuous effect to ensure a smooth and dynamic visual order. A study was made to the parametric order of the shape. CHALLENGE: The most challenging part of all was to create a twist vocabulary that let the skate edge and hand gestures interlaced and further integrate with the base. The connection on top and the bottom was not bolted or glues. The top is designed by using springs to hold the end points of linear members as a soft bed to host the top part. The joint was made possible by applying a three-point support from the box and two cubes on the bottom. The combination of the tension, elasticity, transparency, and opacity has created what a skater has performed.
