It is a work about display window. He chose colourful objects to create repetition. It makes the mall very active. I like the display window at the top the most because there are just few hues, but what audience see is lots of country colors, contain the meaning of internation.

    It is a creative idea to mix BMX and DJing. BMX is sport of racing bicycles in motocross style. The image is speedy and powerful. BMX lovers might found Turntable Rider very interesting since DJing bring music to the sport according to different movement of the bicycles. There are many sensors inside the wheels.

There are cameras under the table detecting signals from top. Then it has several reaction (e.g. vision, sound). It is already be used as a bar table or a restaurant table; when a cup is put on it, a menu will be shown. It is convenient for user to make order and also more environmental friendly.
I think it could also be use as a mahjong table, gives reactions to entertain players, create different moods during the game. 

2010 Burning Man, USA



Artists: Teddy Lo and Ryan C.

"At the 2010 Burning Man event, LEDARTIST CVO Teddy Lo and Ryan Doyle collaborated on one of the most extraordinary Mutant Vehicles to ever grace the event. A 1963 Dodge dump truck deconstructed and altered to take the shape of a dragon, Gon Kirin ('Light Dragon') is a sixteen meters long, seven meters tall beast with two levels of climbing space, a hydraulic neck, a DJ booth, seating for more than twenty people, and a massive flamethrower in its mouth. LEDARTIST designers lit Gon Kirin with 750 meters of linear RGB LED lighting fixtures and multiple Traxon wall-washer units, and controlled the design with Traxon/e‧cue Butler hardware. LEDARTIST looks forward to continually developing Gon Kirin in the future, and keeping the vehicle prominent in the Art Car community."

    Before turning on the LED, it is a dragon fossil. But when it is turned on, it is alive. That's a good party tool.

ADA - analog interactive installation / kinetic sculpture / post-digital drawing machine - 2010







"<<ADA>>  is an interactive art-making machine. Filled up with helium, floating freely in room, atransparent, membrane-like globe, spiked with charcoals that leave marks on the walls, ceilings and floors. Marks which «ADA» produces quite autonomously, athough moved by a visitor. The globe obtains aura of liveliness and its black coal traces, the appearance of being a drawing . The globe put in action, fabricate a composition of lines and points, which remains incalculable in their intensity, expression, form however hard the visitor tries to control «ADA», to drive her, to domesticate her. Whatever he tries out, he would notice very soon, that «ADA» is an independent performer, studding the originaly white walls with drawings and signs. More and more complicated fabric structure arise. It is a movement exprienced visually, which like a computer make an unforeseeable output after entering a command."
