Creating interaction through the experimentation of new media and physical computing, the Shanghai Based ‘multi-discipline design company,’ Super Nature makes things that make me wish I could experience them first hand. And though I suspect the images do them no justice, the videos provided on their site for each of their projects can at least give us a secondhand look at the imaginative color interaction of their installations.
Co-articulation Color Construction
C.C.C. is a synthesis structure of color terminology and new vision of geometrical forms that could be perceived as a visual metaphor through time, space and the sense of movement. It uses water as a medium for visual display as water is a common chemical substance that is essential for the survival of all known forms of life. A simple visual form could be articulated by extending the “color wave” and forms a three dimensional form within a liquid space. Through user interaction, color, sound and form transformation are synchronized with the kinematic movements that controlled by the user’s hand movement. For more information: C.C.C.

The Windcatcher
“The Windcatcher” represents the flow of air and moving in motion. It is an art exploration of searching feeling, color, motion and visualization in a space. This installation is designed like an experimental laboratory which translates wind energy to visualization. “The Windcatcher” embraces a new understanding of nature forces and bringing back our childhood dreams and memories. It conveys good messages pertaining to our natural environment and the connection between human and nature. For more information: The Windcatcher
Rabbit Wonderland
Rabbit Wonderland is a series of innovative outdoor LED interactive sculptures that aims to bring color, laughter and warmth to the streets of Shanghai during the Shanghai eArts Festival 2008. It Is a crossover project with W+K Shanghai. The iconic symbol of “Rabbit Wonderland” is the friendly and lucky Rabbit, which traditionally enjoyed favour among the Chinese for its representation of auspice and peace.
