The Allegory Art Installation

The Allegory

The Allegory is a permanent public art installation set into the central plaza of a sports park in Taipei. The design draws on Baroque and Rococo ceiling frescoes and joins them with symbols of baseball stadiums, consumer goods and entertainment. The composition measures 11.4 by 11.4 meters and includes 37 cast iron panels, 10 angel figures and 50 flower-shaped plates. Wooden molds are carved by machine, cast in metal by sand casting and then hand-filled with colored epoxy resin. Set flush with the floor, the four directions of the work guide people across the plaza.

Cadence of the Spiral Kinetic Installation

Cadence of the Spiral

Cadence of the Spiral explores time as something elastic, relational, and alive. A strip of stainless spring steel is shaped into an ever evolving form by thirty mechanical arms moving in subtle, phase shifted rhythms. As the spiral breathes, twists, and reorganizes itself, no two moments are ever the same. Inspired by the mainspring of a mechanical watch, the work reinterprets coiled metal as a vessel of stored energy and temporal flow. Rather than repeating motion, it reveals change through controlled variation, time is not measured but felt.

Pop Star View Platform

Pop Star

Pop Star is an art installation and view platform based on the geometric shape of the icosahedron. The work is built as a steel structure measuring 15000 mm in each direction. The form is derived from the compound eye of an insect, enlarged to a scale beyond normal human visual reading. Visitors can enter the central area and look out over the surrounding fields. From the outside the volume appears solid and imposing, while the inner space feels quiet and enclosed. Pop Star was designed in Beijing in 2019 and completed in Shanghai in 2020.

Rebirth Art Space Installation

Rebirth

Rebirth is an immersive commercial art space designed around the theme of renewal. The space tells the story of an artificial intelligence girl who recreates the earth in the future through memory extraction and remodeling. The interior is divided into three parts along the route of travel: the last earthling, the memory of the earth, and the creation. Simulated animals are made through 3D modeling, sculpture, mold production, painting and hair techniques. Built-in mechanical structures and control systems create lifelike movement.

Kwsa Kinetic Wall

Kwsa

Kwsa is a kinetic wall installation located at the Aramco Innovation Center in Riyadh. The work covers 209 square meters and is formed by six modular walls, each 6000 mm wide and 7000 mm high. Motion is produced by 20,000 stepper motors that drive a custom lead screw and lever system with a precision of 0.1 mm. Components made of self-lubricating technopolymers need no lubrication and allow front access for maintenance. Choreographed sequences are created from grayscale video, where brightness values define the degree of movement.

Pinnannousu Robotic Ice Sculpture Performance

Pinnannousu

A slowly melting sculpture performance, where an industrial robot carves a large ice block to a computational lens that refracts the spotlight to graphics on the wall, spelling plus two degree celsius, an ominous warning of global temperature rise. The artwork juxtaposes the high tech optimism with transient global challenges that know no bounds. The intervention only speeds up the process.
