"SELFVERSE" is a viewer-participatory and co-creative light installation work.
The viewer uses a flashlight to shine light on reflective materials randomly placed in the dark exhibition space, and the illusory reflections are projected onto the walls and ceiling. Viewers will be pleasantly surprised by the beautiful scene that suddenly appears, as if by magic.
Viewers will be able to take the reflective materials and freely reconfigure them to create their own unique reflections while enjoying various experiments. Collaborating with other viewers, they will be able to integrate and expand their own worlds. This creative world of unlimited possibilities, created by each viewer, is called "SELFVERSE".
The essence of this work is this very structure.
This work invites the viewer to interact, contemplate, and investigate the process of visual creation.
The analogue interaction, without any programming or digital equipment, will result in a one-of-a-kind creation by the viewers.
This open-ended, unlimited, simple, fun and playful experiential installation will ignite the imagination of people of all ages. The artist believes that this light-experimentation as an art medium provides an opportunity to enhance self-expansion powered by one's own creativity.
