In this project, I choose a gallery exhibiting “witnessing” in the RISD museum. The idea is to encourage people to observe things that are ordinary but also worth watching in life. I create some creatures that live in "everyday scenes" through augmented reality and present how they spend their time in this gallery.

I started from standing in front of each piece in the gallery and imagine what else I can see based on the scenes. What traditions can I break from? What kind of creatures came out of my mind unconsciously?

With the thoughts, I made short animations for each of the pieces and arranged them as a set in Unity. Then I connected them with my phone by using Xcode, activated them as an AR App. I hoped the App will allow this exhibition to be viewed from another angle. 

The other important point for this project is to connect all the works in the witnessing exhibition; they are a huge unity. Within the App, creatures and moving objects are freed from the frames. This project also carries on the concept of "restoring continuity" between art and everyday life experience in the exhibition.


开启这个项目的契机,源于在RISD博物馆里一个名为“见证”的展览。

这个展览的目的是鼓励人们观察平凡但又值得一看的事物。站在画廊中每件作品的前面,我想象着在这些稀松平常的场景之外,还能看到什么。 

我可以打破哪些传统? 什么样的生物在不知不觉中从我的脑海中浮现出来? 

考虑到这一点,我为每个作品制作了相应的简短动画,并在Unity中将它们识别为一个集合体。然后使用Xcode将它们与手机连接起来,将它们激活为AR App。我希望该应用程序可以从另一个角度观凝视这次展览。

该项目的另一个重点是将见证展览中的所有作品连接起来; 他们是一个巨大的集体。在应用程序内,生物和移动物体从框架中释放出来。 该项目还在展览中秉承“恢复艺术与日常生活体验之间的连续性”的概念。
