Employing the shadows of the surrounding buildings, the floating installation with its electronic screen is meant to demonstrate interactions between the real and virtual worlds. The design is intended to guide the audience into thinking about the actual problems in their urban living environments.
The second piece is the Ten Altar, which borrows elements from the ancient Temple of Heaven in Beijing and uses blurry and gradual refractions of mirrors as a metaphor for the changing world.
The Virtual Landscape, a piece by Red Dot Award-winning designer, Yang Mingjie, creates a three-dimensional viewing effect of a traditional landscape painting, but it is created using geometric formations of bamboo sticks in a hotel lobby that surround an area used for drinking tea. It is intended to create the illusion of time and space shifting for those sitting within it, according to the designer.
