Happy birthday to you
Snow melts by fire. Fire goes out the moment it meets the snow. This work poetically represents life consisting of infinite cycles of yin and yang through a process in which two substances with opposite properties affect each other.
눈이 불에 의해 녹는다. 불은 눈과 접촉하는 순간 꺼진다. 이 작업은 눈과 불, 극의 성질을 가진 두 물질이 서로 영향을 주고 받는 과정을 통해 음과 양의 무한한 순환으로 이루어진 생을 시적으로 재현한다.
In this class, I want to explore three different ways (sound/ electronics/ sculpture) to realize this idea.
1. Sound installation
Interactive process
1. Fire melts Snow
2. Snow makes Water drop (through condensation)
3-1. Water drop put out the Fire
3-2. Water drop melts Snow
Sound
Sound 1 : The moment the fire meets the snow
Sound 2 : The moment the water drops falling on snow and fire
Technical position
A microphone is used to amplify the sound. I am currently testing a piezo mic and a condenser mic.
2. Video Installation
The process of interaction between snow and fire interacts with electricity.
Technical position
3. Sculpture
