Majored in material science in university.

While being eager to add color to the surroundings, I’ve turned my path toward industrial design and recently on art installation.

Contribution

3D modeling

Tool

Rhino〠Grasshopper

Process The structure and the movement of stingray is first defined, which then turns into definitions in Grasshopper.

Then lots of prototypes is made to test the interactions between human body and the structure.

Process Moniton is to convey the idea of outrageous invation of privacy with pervasive media nowadays.

The combination of a tongue on the fork confounds the dominance and the accessibility to the power.

Arduino Coding #include<Servo.h> #include<math.h> Servo XYservo; int Trigleft = A0; int Echoleft = A1; int TrigRight = A2; int EchoRight = A3; int LReading; int RReading; int XYpos = 90; int sonDist = 10; //10cm float degree; int scale = 5;

void loop() { LReading = GetSonarValue(Trigleft, Echoleft); RReading = GetSonarValue(TrigRight, EchoRight); Serial.println(XYpos); } int GetSonarValue(int TrigPin, int Echopin) { long distance, duration; pinMode(TrigPin, OUTPUT); digitalWrite(TrigPin, LOW); delayMicroseconds(2); digitalWrite(TrigPin, HIGH); delayMicroseconds(10); digitalWrite(TrigPin, LOW);

void setup() { Serial.begin(9600); XYservo.attach(3); XYservo.write(XYpos); }

pinMode(Echopin, INPUT); duration = pulseIn(Echopin, HIGH); distance = duration * 0.0291 / 2; delay(50); return distance; }

Tool

Grasshopper

Process This project is asked to design a showroom for a pop-up exhibition, themed as Eternity Time.

The design is constructed by unsized chips which will swing side-by-side as the wind sway through. It presents that time is all built by the tiny and the grave events on the scenes.
