Together with another
Interactive Installation, 2016
Together with Another is a projection based interactive installation that depict the complexities of one on one relationship through the consciously changed uncertain embodiment. It physically separates multiple users on its two sides, the users on each side will be assigned different roles and painted either black or white onto the canvas, at the instant they are captured by the sensors. Their movement will be visualized and projected on the canvas.
Inspiration
"When you’re a child you learn there are three dimensions
Height, width and depth
Like a shoebox
Then later you hear
there’s a fourth dimension
Time
Then some say there can be five, six, seven…"
----"Another One" from movie "Paterson"

Interaction
The users on each side will be assigned different roles and painted either black or white onto the canvas, express the concept of positive and negative. When people move around at both sides, their profiles appear and disappear, get larger or smaller, become more distinct or less precise, overlap on each other, or erase each other.
