Six Black 36-inch Balloons Installation Each of the six 36-inch black balloons contains a 20W speaker. The balloons are arranged in three pairs, forming a circular configuration (as shown in the diagram). Outside each balloon, a wire frame is suspended to provide support and structure. This installation symbolizes the impact of societal pressure and rigid…

I would like to name this installation “Alive”. On one hand, it symbolizes the process of inflating and deflating, resembling the act of breathing. On the other hand, with the input of helium, the balloons deform and collide with each other, while the sound from the speakers inside the balloons changes. This represents the pressures…

Artist Introduction: QianhuiSound/Photography/Installation Artist, Painter, Sound Designer Qianhui (born in 2001) is a multidisciplinary artist based in London, specializing in sound, photography, installation art, and painting. Currently studying Sound Arts at the University of the Arts London, Qianhui’s work explores the unique interplay between sound and visuals, utilizing diverse media to create immersive and interactive…

Connect the Arduino, photoelectric sensor, and laser using a breadboard. Power the setup with 5V. The photoelectric sensor converts the received signals into 0 and 1 and sends them to the Arduino. The Arduino outputs the digital 0/1 via serial communication, which is then input into Pure Data (using the comport object). In Pure Data,…

Plan B (Tentative idea): This idea involves continuously inflating balloons (with air) until they burst. The inflation and pause durations are randomized. The sound from the speakers inside the balloons changes dynamically as the balloons expand and contract. In this concept, five speakers play the same sound, with the volume gradually increasing as each balloon…

The artists who make art with balloons “Black Balloons” Tadao Cern presents a grid-like structure with 400 black balloons suspended within it. The contrast between the concrete-like blackness of the balloons and their ethereal quality adds depth to the visual narrative of the installation. These balloons are filled with two types of gases: helium, which…

Why Balloons: Balloons can provide a closed space for sound, symbolizing breathing, emotions, and pressure. 1. Sea of Balloons Five sets of speakers are suspended from the ceiling, each fitted with a balloon. The balloons are inflated to a maximum diameter of about one meter. Five air pumps simultaneously inflate and deflate the balloons, while…

Materials: Arduino Photoresistor Sensors Laser Goal: In a dark room, trigger specific sound feedback when the audience touches the laser beams.
