SkyWindow
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 this unprecedented time. Being quarantined in an entire enclosure space continuously for numerous hours and days, people are desperately looking for relief in any possible way. Through the artist’s interactive design, looking up to the imaginary sky could be the most enjoyable solution to get 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 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.
