Abstract
SkyWindow: Immersive Interactive Art Installation Exhibited in Video Format
During 3 months of being quarantined in our tiny apartment, here comes the project, “SkyWindow”. The concept of the “SkyWindow” is the idea of being a mental escape from reality, especially under the unprecedented time. Being quarantine in an entire enclosure space continuously for numerous hours and days, people are desperately looking for reliefs in any possible ways. Through the artist’s interactive design, looking up to the imaginary sky (creating a “vision for hope” with digital media approach) could be the most enjoyable solution to get the immediate comfort without going out.
The “SkyWindow” is an immersive and intimate experience with sky-like projections on the ceiling like putting a void hole to it as an interactive installation. A dark environment with the projected sky/universe on the ceiling intriguing the audience to walk closer underneath. Further, the visual graphic will induce the audience to reach out to their hands like touching the sky to trigger the raindrops (meteor shower) and sounds falling from the “SkyWindow”.
The "SkyWindow" here metaphorically represents a piece of “hope” people can expect during the pandemic. No matter a planet far away in the dark or sunlight in the bright, it gives you unexpected joy and surprise in the design. Besides exposing under different spatial scenes, through this “SkyWindow”, waving hands in the air will trigger the (meteor) shower falling from the Sky which ironically implies the power of control that people have been losing it for a while under such an unpredictable moment. And the (meteor) shower implicitly refers to wash out all the illness and sadness for returning the clean and pure spirits.
SkyWindow” as a demonstration video was selected in the “Amid Space(s)” online exhibition as one of the 12 artworks. Amid Space(s) was an experimental project/exhibition, focusing on exploring contemporary ways of exhibiting new media art as a form of data. The COVID-19 situation has catalyzed the co-existence of Virtual and Reality as an inevitable trend in any aspect of our life, including art exhibitions. The organizer designed a unique opening of this online exhibition by letting the audiences go through an 8-bit game-like experience to eventually enter the exhibition webpage. Within the exhibition webpage, 12 QR code images represent the artworks that you would have to click on to enter and know what work is behind. By scanning the QR code, you got the artists’ information. It is another creative exhibition that shows their own interpretation/demonstration of a virtual exhibition.
