Homo sapiens emerged three hundred thousand years ago, and today they say we have entered a geological chapter called the Anthropocene. We hope that human actions, technological advancements, and natural processes can intertwine peacefully and intricately. Whether viewed with the perspective of millennia or a fraction of a second, we can see beautiful landscapes.
This is a poem written in digital form—
Temperature and latitude are the rhetoric; artificial intelligence shapes the landscape, becoming the meter. Poetic works located in the north and south, with micro and macro perspectives, tell day after day, forming a long, continuous poem about the new nature.
“Timescape”is an artistic creation commissioned by Transsion Holdings. Transsion is a technology consumer electronics company focused on environmental protection and sustainable development, with its primary consumer base located on the African continent. With the completion of its new headquarters building, Transsion commissioned our team to create an installation art piece at its entrance.
We hope that this artwork can convey the feeling of time through a landscape form, drawing inspiration from the natural scenery and seasonal changes of the original African continent, integrating the passage of time into it. Therefore, we named this piece "Natural Time Poem" and divided it into two parts, placed at the south and north entrances respectively.
Through these two interrelated pieces at the south and north entrances, we hope that viewers can easily experience the beauty of technology and imagine what "nature" might look like in this era. This is a natural time poem for everyone, telling the story of the integration between humans and nature, technology and art.
The first chapter of this poem presents a macroscopic perspective. Here, we have created a large digital art piece that showcases the seasonal climate and forest landscapes in real time. Using detection technology, it interacts with people entering the building. Depending on the local time and season, the artwork sometimes displays a vibrant landscape, sometimes a desolate scene, sometimes flowing water, and sometimes a gentle breeze. Tropical rainforests and savannas also appear, depicting the diverse landscapes of the African continent throughout the year.
The second chapter of this poem represents the microscopic view. We designed a digital window that extracts a portion of the northern entrance artwork as its color palette. People can use an interface to draw different colors and textures on a tablet, which will instantly affect the display on the window. It simulates the relationship between humans and the grasses, branches, and dust, observing, exploring, and touching with the innocence of a child. Therefore, this is an interactive digital art canvas, where people can ultimately save their creations and consider them as their own "Timescape."
Through these two interrelated pieces at the south and north entrances, we hope that viewers can easily experience the beauty of technology and imagine what "nature" might look like in this era.
