Ming Jing
Chan Kiu-hong / Hong Kong
Wherever you go, problems always follow, even to different parts of the world. One end of Ming Jing is a set of over nine hundred bowls, each with a magnetic bead inside. The other end is connected to an infrared detector at the entrance of a Beijing gallery. When triggered by passers-by, signals are transmitted to the local end with four amplifiers to vibrate the magnetic beads, creating a ripple-like effect.
Artist’s Statement
In this era of globalisation and the Internet, we all exist in a huge institution and system. Perhaps we should just be like water to escape from being fixed into one form. Let there be different forms and shapes, let us change and adapt according to different environment.
But in the end, how much can we grasp?
