Following research and improvement of project “Artefact”.
Based on existing research of project 3, I aim to bring a more effective experence to the audience through a further investigatment about researching gestures, homeless society, and improve the form of the practice.
Through further reaserch I came up with a different idea to improve my previous project “Navigators”.
As advanced, intelligent creatures, we humans became very good and accustomed to exerting power over other creatures, nature, and our own kind. We violently manipulate things to make them fit our sense of reality.

I intended to make every detail and element in the installation is speaking and serving the concept, which inspired by Kubrick’s work particularly 2001.
Outcome
In this project I conducted a series of experiments in different directions
Experiment with everyday object.
Experiment 1 [Ice melting]. Observe and document the impact of human behaviours on natural things.
Experiment 2 [The Rubix Cube] A further experiment about ice melting and respond to my first project Manifesto, as I had the idea about making Rubix’s Cube with ice.
Experiment with watercolour 1.
Experiment with watercolour 2.
Experiment with watercolour 3.
Experiment with watercolour 4.
Experiment with Arduino.
Experiment wood with architecture structure. Lasercut plywood in different thickness, bend in maximum angel then put in the oven to set the shape.
Experiment paper with same structure, create a shape like Mobius Strip without sides.
The title of the show is inspired by beat poet Lawrence Ferlinghetti’s ‘I Am Waiting’, which comments on the societal problems of contemporary America, and calls for a change of consciousness – the rebirth of a new wonder.
As such, TRANSFORMER explores ideas of identity, representation and self-image, while questioning how coming together to take action can help shape positive change.
American artist Doug Aitken brings a super-sized version of his ‘New Order’ artwork to the building, which features an interview with the inventor of the cell phone, reminiscing about the very first call made in 1973 transposed over haunting and desolate images of the landscape.
Meanwhile, artist Evan Ifekoya explores the meeting point of technology and wellness, conjuring a futuristic centre complete with padded white walls and a metal-framed meditation pod where visitors can relax, recharge and reconnect with their inner self.
Leisure is also on the mind of VR artist Lawrence Lek, who has recreated the interiors of a glossy nightclub – a virtual version of which is projected on screens above, accompanied by an electric soundtrack.
Other Spaces features three large-scale installations by the multi-disciplinary collective UVA – Our Time, The Great Animal Orchestra and Vanishing Point.
The Store X The Vinyl Factory presents a new exhibition by UVA called Other Spacesat 180 The Strand, in collaboration with the Fondation Cartier pour l’art contemporain, Paris.
Our Time
Featuring newly composed music by Mira Calix, Our Time is a site-specific evolution of the UVA’s 2013 commission for the Barbican called Momentum. The installation features kinetic structures swinging in and out of phase, while light and sound is projected throughout.
Vanishing Point
Vanishing Point is an immersive laser installation that uses perspective as a way to reshape and redefine a space. Inspired by Renaissance drawings by Leon Battista Alberti, Leonardo Da Vinci and Albrecht Dürer, it features beams of white light that are projected into the space from an invisible vanishing point.
The Great Animal Orchestra
Making its UK premiere, The Great Animal Orchestra – presented in collaboration with Fondation Cartier pour l’art contemporain, Paris – is a soundscape of animal recordings, captured in their natural habitats around the world by seminal bioacoustician Bernie Krause. UVA have imagined an accompanying visuals featuring colourful abstract spectrogram landscapes of the environments where the animals live.
Other Spaces is the fourth major exhibition commissioned by The Store X The Vinyl Factory.
Last year, The Store X The Vinyl Factory presented Strange Days: Memories of The Future with the New Museum, which explored the work of radical video artists and filmmakers.
In 2017, The Store X The Vinyl Factory partnered with Lisson Gallery for multi-disciplinary exhibit Everything at Once, alongside four site-specific installations at its curated space The Store X: Arthur Jafa’s acclaimed Love is the Message, the Message is Death in collaboration with Serpentine Galleries, Ryoji Ikeda’s newly commissioned A/V artwork test pattern [N°12], Jeremy Shaw’s Liminals in collaboration with König Galerie, and Virgil Abloh and Ben Kelly’s Ruin.
In 2016, The Store X The Vinyl Factory presented audio-visual show Infinite Mix with the Hayward Gallery, featuring work by Kahlil Joseph, Jeremy Deller, Rachel Rose and Stan Douglas.
London Design Festival: Japanese designer Yuri Suzuki has made a radio from an electronic circuit board that’s arranged to look like the London tube map.
The map is inspired by a spoof diagram created by the original designer of the London Tube map, Harry Beck, which shows the lines and stations as an annotated electrical circuit. Iconic landmarks on Suzuki’s map are represented by components relating to their functions, including a speaker where Speaker’s Corner sits and a battery representing Battersea Power Station.
Suzuki told Dezeen he wanted to make the components visible because “it is difficult for consumers to understand the complexity of the workings behind the exterior” of today’s electronic devices. By creating a “narrative to explain how electronics work,” he hopes users will be encouraged to fix their own broken devices.
Tube Map Radio is one of two projects completed by Suzuki in response to a brief of Thrift set for Designers in Residence, an annual platform for upcoming designers at the Design Museum in London.
Suzuki previously worked with Oscar Diaz to design a pen that records and plays back the sound it makes as it draws a line and, for his graduation project from the Royal College of Art in 2008, he presented products that investigated the physical properties of sound.

Conclusion
Eliasson has created a broad body of work that includes installations, sculptures, photography and paintings. The materials he uses range from moss, glacial melt-water and fog, to light and reflective metals. Eliasson’s art comes from three particularly important interests. These are: his concern with nature, honed through his time spent in Iceland; his research into geometry; and his ongoing investigations into how we perceive, feel about and shape the world around us.
Eliasson puts experience at the centre of his art. He hopes that as you encounter it, you become more aware of your senses. You add meaning to the works as you bring your associations and memories to these experiences. You might also become more aware of the people around you with whom you form a temporary community. For Eliasson, this heightened awareness of yourself and other people creates a new sense of responsibility. Ultimately, he believes that art can have a strong impact on the world outside the museum.
Eliasson’s practice has extended beyond making artworks, exhibitions, and public sculptures. He has worked – with his studio and with outside collaborators – on architectural projects, a cookbook, an art school, and on dance projects. He has founded an architectural practice, called Studio Other Spaces, with his long-time collaborator Sebastian Behmann, and initiated projects directly addressing issues facing the world today. These include projects to do with renewable energy (Little Sun), climate change (Ice Watch) and migration (Green light – An artistic workshop). These build on Eliasson’s long-held interests in the environment, light and community that led him to make the kinds of works in this exhibition.
The Expanded Studio evokes the broader interests and activities that Eliasson’s studio in Berlin pursues. The long pin-board wall here is based on the walls in the studio where teams of researchers and craftspeople, as well as Eliasson himself, share questions, articles, images and news clippings. The materials here are arranged around keywords in alphabetical order.
On the circular table, there’s The structural evolution project, first staged in 2001. Using Zometool sticks and connectors, you can collaborate to build and rebuild structures and shapes. Every other Wednesday, there will be a live link up with the studio showing daily life and a range of projects and activities taking place there.
Through a different organization turn daily objects into patterns and artworks.

Juicy Salif citrus squeezer. Designed by Phillippe Starck,1990. Manufactured by Alessi.
Philippe Starck represents an indefatigable power of design. From loudspeakers to chandeliers. From motorbikes to mega-yachts. From everyday objects to sensational interior design. The hotels that he designed have attained cult status. Since the 1980s, Philippe Starck has been creating ‘wows’ and setting international benchmarks with his design.
