▌Artwork Introduction

Cyan Bird - The Posture of Flying, Stainless steel axle, motor, FRP, acrylic pigment, electronic control device. 2019-2023.

Using contemporary technology as an extension of artistic creation, this work captures geometric data of flying birds to generate 3D images and creates the form of a flying bird utilizing high-end 3D printing technology. It transforms technology into lightweight yet resilient wings and combines a motorized control module that allows minute adjustments of speed to delineate the dynamics of flying. To the artist, the cyan bird flying in the sky is a symbol of “ideals” as well as freedom and courage. With this work, he hopes to encourage people to face challenges and embrace wonderful visions and expectations for the future.
