Abstract

In this paper, we proposed an interactive art installation titled “Welcome to Heshan” with an application of emerging technology, which aims at having a more profound impression on participants, including locals and tourists, and engaging audiences with interactive and immersive experiences. In this project, we welcome participants to entertain and impress them with FONG TSE KA’s art through designed interactive visual elements. 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”, re-designed abstract background referenced to the paintings and human profiles filled with vivid colours. The installation will, by default, show a running calligraphy waterfall over a repeating background series as the presentation mode. 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. Moreover, 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. Through this installation, we have successfully conveyed a warm welcome to visitors in an entertaining and engaging format within the constraints of the specific location and cultural context.
