Multimedia Artwork “Memory of the Stone”
We hope to create the digital image content of the Techsize Slate Exhibition Hall through four aspects: stone, surface and geometry, Hangzhou city, and calligraphy; A rock material is presented, which makes the whole picture more complete with a story in the background of the abstract rock material, and hopes to bring more associations about rock memory to the space.
Chapter 1 -Memory of the Stone
We chose dark gray, light white, and black as the main colors for the overall space. The choice of color comes from the most original color of the stone itself, which brings a more advanced sense to the whole design while ensuring the unity of the overall color tone to line up different scenes. It is not static but subtly transports the viewer into a new chapter. Abstract art first appeared in the works of Kandinsky. The Grand Canyon in Arizona, USA, has a peculiar rocky landform, forming a unique wave rock under river erosion for hundreds of millions of years. Every line on the rock is a memory from billions of years, and the stone itself in nature is a figurative object. With the title of “Memory of the Stone”, we hope to integrate the word “memory” into the stone through modern art creation, making it a carrier to the abstract creation techniques and morphological changes with dynamics and vitality. The movement of the mountains will also serve as the main background of the whole picture and become the main storyline running through the subject, thus leading us to enter the aesthetics of Techsize Slate.
Chapter 2 – Surface and Geometry
This chapter is about the methodology and aesthetics of process transformation, and we will return to the science section. The English description of slate is SINTERED STONE, which is made of natural raw materials through particular technology and combined with advanced production technology, it is the crystallization of modern science. We hope to show the artistic beauty in a non-figurative form through visual effects similar to the 3D.
Chapter 3 – Hangzhou City of China
This chapter chooses to extract the iconic buildings of Hangzhou, the water and mountains of the West Lake, the waves of ships sailing, the houses, etc., from the perspective of an aerial view. The mirrored space creates an intention of Hangzhou in the mirror, and all materials are mirror materials similar to stainless steel. Compared with the previous grand scene, this chapter is more of an abstraction of tranquility and peace.
Chapter 4 – Calligraphy
Calligraphy is an artistic expression of the beauty of words unique to China and its neighboring countries and regions that have been deeply influenced by Chinese culture. It is a traditional art unique to Chinese characters. We used the calligraphy of the famous calligrapher Wang Dongling with a full screen of calligraphy descriptions and ink smudges. The hall shows a unique cultural heritage with the traditional calligraphy displayed three-dimensionally through modern technology, which will become the trendy direction of Chinese traditional culture and art.
