SUBJECT MATTER: AN OBJECT VIEWED FROM BOTH SIDES

TITLE: INTERFACE (2006)



What can be viewed from both sides and I find it interesting?

A lake surface!
You can view either from the top or the bottom of the water.
You could have totally different feeling from a common surface.
You may not be able to view it from two opposite angles in the reallity easily,
yet you may imagine here ...

First Idea The idea "interface" comes from the internet term and daily online business world. People just making use of a screen and enter a virtual business world. I've chosen a lake surface as my development of the subject matter. It is also related to a previous sculpture I made: The Lake Copper (2005)

My new definition of "interface" for this project:
A surface as a medium to present both sides of the world seeing through each other.

我想利用「介面」作為從兩個相反角度看世界的媒介。
