Material Topology
物质拓扑︎Oct, 2023
Material Topology is a dome-based audiovisual short film that explores materiality at different scales. It magnifies the subtle changes in the microcosmic world within an immersive space, prompting the audience to contemplate the similarities and chaotic patterns among entities of various dimensions.
Inspired by topology's geometry, it reveals how seemingly different objects may possess identical structures, and a mutual mapping exists between micro and macro scales.
The image of the work uses a high-definition macro camera to capture and magnify the dynamic variations of fluorescent powder particles influenced by sound vibrations, projected onto a giant dome. Within the encompassing dome environment, even the tiniest material changes are highlighted, evoking awe and imagination.
Simultaneously, the sound experience combined with the changes in vision travels through the entire auditorium, leading the audience to immerse themselves in a world full of chaotic particles. Here, the scale of human beings is minimised, as if merging with matter, feeling the dramatic contrast between the microcosm and the macrocosm.
Material Typology was selected for the Future Vision Lab program at the Taiwan Contemporary Culture Lab in 2024, and was exhibited from November 1 to December 22, 2024 at the Fulldome Theater of the Future Vision Lab, Taiwan Contemporary Culture Lab.
The work was also screened at the 2024 SAT Fulldome Film Festival in Canada, an internationally recognized festival dedicated to immersive dome-based audiovisual art.
Later in October 2024, the project was presented in Tangent Media, a contemporary media art exhibition held at the Art Museum of The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen, curated by internationally renowned technology art curator Iris Long.
物质拓扑 是一场在艺术球幕中探索微观世界构建的展演作品。通过过球幕的穹顶空间，放大微小的实景变化，引发人们对不同维度事物之间相似性与混沌中的秩序所产生的思考。从拓扑几何学中汲取灵感，作品揭示看似不同的事物可能具有相同结构，及微观与宏观之间的相互映射。
作品的影像运用微距相机捕捉容器内粉末颗粒在声音振动下的微妙变化，将这些微观景象投影在巨大的球幕上。在这个壮观的穹顶环境中，微小的物质变化被赋予放大的力量，唤起人们的敬畏与无限遐想。同时声音结合视觉的变化，穿梭于整个演厅之中，引领观众沉浸在一个充满混沌微粒的世界。在这里，人类的尺度被缩小，仿佛与物质融为一体，感受微观与宏观之间的鲜明对比。
物质拓扑 入选 2024 年台湾当代文化实验场未来视觉实验室(Future Vision Lab)项目，并于 2024 年 11 月 1 日至 12 月 22 日在台湾当代文化实验场 未来视觉实验室球幕展厅展出。
该作品亦于 2024 年在加拿大举办的国际知名球幕艺术节 SAT Fulldome Film Festival 展映。
此后于 2024 年 10 月，在科技艺术策展人龙星如邀请下，作品于香港中文大学（深圳）美术馆举办的当代媒体艺术展览 Tangent Media 探针媒介中展出。
