Man is a part of nature as well as a part of culture. He is a part of the Creation and the creator of culture. The interactive installtion is meant to vusualise the possibilities of creative power with the help of media technology.
a video projector is installed in a birdhouse, which is hung up on the branch of a tree. The projector casts the changeable figure of a flower vertically downwards on the white bowl. By moving and tilting the bowl, the image of an archetypical flower changes: its color, form, size and structure may be manipulated directly.
Jing Hua means flowers in the mirror in Chinese. It also represents the metaphor of unreachable things.
Maths as the language of nature becomes the language of the artificial.
"I really like the participatory nature of this 'installation' - the 'viewer' interacts very closely, involving a high degree of participation in order to manipulate and create an effect" - Sally Butterfield
Jing Hua was showcased in the botanical garden in Frankfurt during the light festival LUMINALE 2010
