Touching the smooth surfaces of Chen’s sculptures reveals a subtle texture that evokes a sense of calmness. Lu’s paintings use bold, vibrant colors and dynamic shapes to create a sense of energy and movement. Wu’s sculptures are more abstract and introspective, exploring the relationship between the human body and technology. Tan’s soundscape features a mix of industrial and natural sounds, creating a sense of contrast and tension. The sound installation is located in a room with a circular shape and a high ceiling, with the sound coming from all directions. This design allows the visitor to fully immerse themselves in the soundscapes, surrounded by the sounds of nature and industry. The installation also features a series of mirrors placed strategically around the room to create a sense of depth and reflection. The mirrors not only add to the visual impact of the sound installation but also serve as a metaphor for the human experience of self-reflection and introspection. The overall effect is a dynamic and immersive experience that engages the visitor’s senses and challenges their perceptions of the world around them. The exhibition also includes a series of interactive installations that allow visitors to engage with the artworks on a more personal level. These installations feature touch-sensitive interfaces and gesture-controlled devices that respond to the visitor’s movements and interactions.
