LUMINIOUS ORNAMENT

A TELEVISUAL RE-IMAGINING OF THE SIR JOHN SOANE MUSEUM

PROJECT DESCRIPTION<

The project aims to investigate how ornaments can be the product of light, shadow and colour by reinterpreting John Ruskin. Instead of the monochromatic classical ornamentation created by the stonemasons of the past, this project reinvents ornament as the polychrome layers of televisual projection.

The method of designing ornament stems from a desire to create a connection between the neighbouring ‘John Soane Museum’ and the client who operates at the forefront of digital media and wireless networks.

Her collection of modern and contemporary art, with a focus on collage/assemblage, will be absorbed by polychromatic projections and dynamic oscillation of light and shadow.

Ghosting John Soane Museum FacadeAs time passes, projected polychromatic ornaments are changed and the coloured projection is casted on the artwork. This is an artwork completed with regular surface of one colour. However, the interior is full of irregular shapes of various colours.    
In the day it is a very neutral 'white cube' space. At other times it is invaded by colour and light, not only for the ornamental space also dynamic space.I tried making this temporary ornament into a transparent material. The colours that appear on dome surface are expressed by overlap of transparent layers which are blue, red, and green. 

This is model test made up of 12 layers, and once again the secondary projection appears. 
SectionThis is exactly opposite to white cube space. White cube gallery space creates a distinction and separateness, the artwork in the white cube space is isolated. I am creating a space for the art that enters into a dialogue with exhibits and a dialogue between architecture, art and light. The collage artwork should be in the collage space.
