| The LED numbers repeatedly count from one to
nine or nine to one. Some of them count slowly, others count fast: each
counting speed is different. We will hold a workshop to let the citizens
of Denver set the speeds of each LED: I think the "time" , "history" and "character" of
Denver will be recorded on it. The LED numbers are a metaphor for "each
individual's life force", "each individual's history" and "each
individual's time".
The mirror is a metaphor for "en". "En" is the
Buddhist concept of "relationship" that states a human being can't
exist independently. It can exist only by relating with nature, relation
with the universe and relation with other people.
The "Mirror LED" is meant to express the individuality of each Denver
citizen and at the same time, reflect their "en" or relationship with
those things reflected in the mirror.
The mirror LED will reflect a structure of a building, other Mirror LED, and
even visitors. It will make this a community space that creates a harmony
of citizens, visitors and the building.
The architect Libeskind advocates the concept of "Nexus" or the
revival of community. I propose the "Art in You" concept that states
that art doesn't exist independently, but is generated by each visitor. My
hope is that this artwork will stimulate visitor's sense of "discovery" to
create "en" and generate a new community.
