SOLIGAMI
This project created a robotic origami prototype that uses solar energy data to control its behavior. Bringing together natural and technological themes in a kinetic composition, it visuals their common denominator - Energy.
Soligami‘s colors follow the passage of time, shifting as the seasons change. It becomes a node in the Internet of Things and explores a way for people to empathize with data and objects in a way that is more intuitive and magical than a numeric reading on a screen. In the open-close process, people talk with the thing.

Data Transparency
Data is not dissimilar to a conclusion of our past, and we need it for our future; what we see from a computer is something that has already happened.We use intelligent methods of computing science to analyze the data to prdict the future. We live in a world of data, like a language objectively describing our past. In this artwork, I focus more on rethinking and recalibrating the role of data in our lives and the relationship between the virtual world we build as a primary method of data storing, analyzing, and visualization and ourselves. Also, it is better to make sense of the role of data visualization before really visualizing it. Finally, I found an excellent perspective to see how data connects with our lives: Time.
Therefore, the project is not aiming to visualize any specific data, but what I am trying to imagine is the “data visualization” itself. Therefore, the project is not aiming to visualize any specific data, but what I am trying to imagine is the “data visualization” itself. Area and bubble game could be used to present different data sets, with the bubbles growing or shrinking to reflect the size of each group. The exhibit’s interactivity would help draw people in and encourage exploration of the presented data. Overall, this has the potential to be a unique and exciting way to demonstrate the power and importance of data visualization.

A Real Tent
The tent is a real tent, but where is the true wilderness?
Today, the development of civilization has led to rapid urbanization and the development of genuinely pristine habitats into modern settlements. At the same time, finding and experiencing the original desire has led people to rethink the definition of ecology in modern cities. What is the wilderness? The park? Garden? The park is built in the contemporary town of programmed wilderness. Is it genuinely pristine?
On the other hand, on the micro level, are fish tanks filled with all kinds of fish, seaweed, small rocks, and microorganisms truly pristine? The original ecology in people’s minds is early and has become a stylized,programmed, and human-made landscape. Programmed ecology is central to my concept. The tent is a critical visual element and visual metaphor.
When we’re in the middle of it, People always feel like they’re camping in the suburbs. So I used sounds from nature and daily life as well as the tent moving and shaking to enhance the experience; I wanted to make the tent all over every corner of the urban city, and It makes people think about how far away the real wilderness is from us.

Language Exchange
Language exchange is an art installation inspired by the close relationship between drinking and conversation in British social culture. This installation is triggered by the alcohol content in the environment, causing a series of mechanical mouths to open and close at different data levels.
Through this approach, Language exchange successfully creates an interesting visual and sound effect while emphasizing the impact of alcohol on human behavior. The installation also raises questions about social culture and abstinence, allowing them to rethink themselves and the people around them away.
