Materials:Fish tank, hose, ink, xuan paper, wood

Year: 2023

A computer creates a bridge of interaction with the audience. A chat box on the computer receives input from the audience and activates the device's switch whenever a message is sent. At the same time, six ink-filled pipes respond to a command to start dripping ink randomly on the rice paper below,。The installation reflects the audience's input and the installation's response in a visual and dynamic way. Each word and phrase triggers a unique pattern of ink dripping, and the resulting unique ink drawings are like ink responding to human language, a dialogue between ink and people.

This work is therefore divided into two parts: collection and exhibition

collection

The initial phase involves the collection of text entered by the audience. In this installation, there are six ink-dispensing tubes in total, each associated with different text inputs. Accordingly, various texts will trigger the flow of ink from specific tubes。
