theartistandhismodel » Installation

Working together with the amazing Emily Gobeille, we created the interactive installation, ‘Funky Forest’ which premiered at the 2007 Cinekid festival in the Netherlands. ‘Funky Forest’ is an interactive ecosystem where children create trees with their body and then divert the water flowing from the waterfall to the trees to keep them alive. The health of the trees contributes to the overall health of the forest and the types of creatures that inhabit it. Made with openFrameworks.

Walter: A Pet Project by Dawn Ng

Yanda — Sun, 25 Apr 2010 19:52:01 +0000

Ginormous is a word we fell in love with and so began our collaboration of epic proportions with artist, Dawn Ng, to create a ginormous rabbit WALTER.

WALTER is Dawn’s pet project involving guerilla installations of a curious colossal bunny who pops up across Singapore’s standard landscape of flats and heartland enclaves. By using Walter to create and photograph scenarios packed with surprise and wonder, Dawn draws attention to commonly overlooked and over familiar spaces across our landscape, while dodging cops and people with no sense of humor. WALTER is a celebration of our ordinary by helping us look at this city as children again. In the name of good art and fun, we are transforming loof into a pop-up gallery for Walter and his photo-exhibition.

Be at the big bunny’s blowout party on April 29th, Thursday, 630pm. Exhibition lasts till May 9th.

Rainbow Church by Tokuyin Yoshioka

Yanda — Wed, 31 Mar 2010 13:47:24 +0000

The idea of this architecture project “Rainbow Church” dates back to when I wan in early 20s.

I visited the Chepelle du Rosaire, which Henri Matisse, a French painter, created in his last years, located in Vence, a commune located near Nice, France. I was engrossed in the beauty of the light that the chapel created.
I experienced a space filled with the light of Matisse: Being bathed in the sunlight of the Provence, the stained glass with Metisse’s vibrant colors suffused the room with full of colors.
Since then, I had been dreaming of designing an architecture where people can feel the light with all senses.

A part of this dreaming architecture project will be realized as a concept plan at the exhibition held at MUSEUM. beyondmuseum in Seoul from May, 2010. The exhibition is planned to last until the end of June.

Approximately 8-meter-high stained glass made with 500 crystal prisms will be filling the space with rainbow colors as the light shines on it.
