[第五届流明奖项获奖作品] Flown

这是一个由LED灯嵌入，并且多个连锁几何形状组成的沉浸式装置。Flown用云朵模样的结构连接作为展现形式，观众可以从作品整体或者单个几何形状角度来体验，通过作品的形态来观察光的折射。 手折亚克力塑料材质，可为满足空间大小而重新安排布置，感应环境温度、湿度，灯光做出相应变化。
Flown is an interactive light installation by Esther Rolinson, developed with artist/programmer Sean Clark. It is an immersive form, constructed from multiple interlocking geometric shapes embedded with LEDs. Flown appears as an ephemeral drifting cloud-like structure, one that we are experiencing at both a macro and micro level, watching light refracting through it's form.
Flown is made from hand-folded acrylic and has been developed through a drawing and model making process. It is a scaleable collection of parts that can be reconfigured to suit it's location. Flown was first commissioned for the Illuminating York Light Festival as a large-scale light work containing over 800 pieces and has more recently been exhibited at CHI’16 in San José on a smaller scale using 200 pieces. It has a simple supporting structure of tensioned cables that secures over and through structures or onto a simple flat surface.
The lighting control system used within Flown animates the structure with waves of light and delicate colour. This was designed in response to the drawing process and the physical form, extending the subtle and ephemeral language of the piece. A set of sensors measuring humidity, temperature and light are used to connect the artwork to it's environment. The structure responds gently to the physical space, like a living thing, breathing in sensory information that influences it's behaviour whilst maintaining a core identity. Flowncan also connect via the Internet to other versions of itself to create large-scale ecologies of light and interaction.
