Abstract

“Welcome to Heshan” presents an interactive art experience for participants to entertain and impress them with FONG TSE KA’s, aiming at conveying a warm welcome to engaging within the local (i.e., Heshan) cultural context. The visual presentation consists of different designs of the Chinese calligraphy and other patterns found from FONG TSE KA’s painting, including “calligraphy waterfalls”, “calligraphy snowflakes”, and re-designed painterly background as reinterpretations of FTK’s paintings The work, by default, shows a running calligraphy waterfall. When the participant walks in the interactive area, the installation will detect their presence and switch to interactive mode in which the waterfall will partially switch to snowflake with falling and bouncing effect. Additionally, the installation will project the participant into the screen as color blocks in profile shape, and the participant can virtually catch and hold the calligraphy snowflakes as in the physical world.
