Starry, Starry Night
In this work, every participant is a star in the heaven. With each other of them, they communicate, create and illuminate, so that they sparkle into a starry, starry night.
Starry, Starry Night is about environmental issues, this work is to awake people’s concern for environment. In the work features the interaction of the Internet and the interaction of different regions and times and interaction of the speech recognition in the exhibition, changing the shape of society through intentional interaction. This work is composed of 5 spheral installation symbolizing 5 continents of this planet. Chinese, English, French, German and Japanese will be used for these installations. Through the internet and Google AJAX Search API, the environmental issues related news, blogs and forums are selected. When getting negative news, such as global warning, floods, droughts, hurricanes, tornados, and earthquakes, the installations will be inflated which symbolizing the burdens the globe has borne. On the other hand, the installations will be deflated when getting positive news such as energy saving and carbon reduction, green energy industry, alternative energy and International Meat Less Day, this refers to less impact on the earth. But the point is that by this work I hope the attract people’s concern for the globe, so that we really try to “350Love Earth”, and environmental protection IS NOT a slogan.

星群
在這個作品,每一位參展者就像是天上的繁星,他們互相對話、互相參與創作、互為主體,同時也互相照映,讓彼此產生光芒並交織出一片絢麗的星空。
《星群》作品,探討相關環境議題為主,此作品使用網路,與地域性、時間性的互動,以積極介入的方式改變社會的型態,透過藝術創作為環境發聲,用軟性的訴求喚起人們對環境的省思。
作品由五顆球型裝置構成,以中、英、法、德及日五國語言,分別呈現於五顆球型裝置,象徵著全球五大洲,透過Google AJAX Search API即時擷取全球相關環境議題的新聞、部落格及論壇,當搜尋到環境議題負面消息時,如地球暖化、洪水、旱災、颶風和地震等,此球型裝置會即時不斷地充氣膨脹,象徵地球的承載量愈來愈重,直到關心及宣導活動相關新聞出現時,如節能減碳、綠能產業和替代能源等,此裝置會排出氣體,也代表著承載量的減輕及釋放。
藝術家陳韻如,也企圖創造「350愛地球」標語,觀眾可在展場裡,大聲喊出標語,可立即改變球型裝置的顏色變化,也可在部落格或facebook上輸標語,此標語會即時控制球型裝置作放氣動作,同時也藉此喚起大家對環境議題的重視,而非只是一個口號。
