Kallang Wind Lights
Work In Progress
Lallang is a local weed that grows in abundance in untended grass fields. In a strong wind, fields of lallang will ripple like waves. The proposed installation is based on the concept of making visible the invisible wind blowing through fields of lallang. LEDs are mounted on flexible stalks which will sway in the wind. The LEDs will be triggered and lit by the wind movement. In an installation in large numbers across a field, the effect of numerous small lights lighting up like sudden fireflies in the dark will make the viewer profoundly aware of the unseen wind.
Nightingale Bird Song
A representation of a bird.
What better representation of a bird than its song? I screen captured the music visualization of a nightingale song at regular time intervals. The resultant shapes of the music visualization are then traced and lasercut onto clear acrylic. Each shape represents a single moment in the nightingale song. All the pieces are arranged together in their time sequence. The final assembled form is a physical translation of what is an aural experience of a nightingale. The moment of a nightingale in full song frozen in a crystalline form.
