今天晚上的佈展，在大夥的幫助之下非常順利！
大概從晚上6:30佈置到9:30便完成了大部分～ 謝謝大家...
剩下投影機定位與設定，以及"美化"webcam等小細節，
因為Gallery 4A週日、週一休館，
所以只要在週二7/28晚上展覽之前去完成就可以囉～
( ...回家後才發現，其實筆記型電腦可以先帶回家使用，
等到7/28當天要用再帶過去... 我們倆真是阿呆喔... )
為了裝置speaker、webcam、以及筆記型電腦，
我們不停地挪動梯子爬上爬下，還把黑色膠帶用光光...
還好當晚膠布還夠用，不然頭就大了～ XD
平是這次NIGHTVISION的策展人，也身兼展覽助理，
對展場再熟悉不過的她，給了我們最大的幫助，
我們真的非常感謝平！ 也謝謝小強的技術支援唷～
按這裡，有"Composition"之前展出的影片檔～
這次在4A展覽特別的地方，除了是夜間展出之外，
也是第一次在半戶外空間與過往的路人做即時互動，
右下角的照片就是現場的互動情形～ :)
順便附上已經發給雪梨媒體的新聞稿內容：
NIGHTVISION SERIES
HOGI TSAI: COMPOSITION
Gallery 4A front window
Tuesday 28 July - Friday 14 August
6PM - 12AM
Gallery 4A showcases the work of emerging Taiwanese artist, Hogi Tsai, as part of its ongoing Nightvision series.
For the first time, Nightvision will display a playful and interactive new media artwork where audience involvement forms a central part of the piece.
Each night from 6PM the shop front window of Gallery 4A will come alive with pixelated blocks of colour, activated by the movement of passers-by. A melody of sound chimes as the rainbow-coloured blocks light up – animated by the audience’s shadows and movement.
The audience can control what takes shape on the big screen and become part of the art making process. By walking past the screen the spectator animates their own shadows and movement in order to create their own visual and musical composition.
Curator Zhang Yanping says: “an exhibition of this nature is a great way to bring art out of the gallery space, after hours connecting the spectator with the art in an offbeat and random way”.
Examining the role of art and the spectator in contemporary digital society, this exhibition presents a unique social space for musical experimentation and shape shifting entertainment.
