Wang Gongxin

The Other Rule in Ping Pong, 3 channel synchronized video installation, audio, 3’:23”, 2014

Wang Gongxin (b.1960 China) has emphasised the sculptural by incorporating objects into his projections and spatially considered screen arrangements. In this work, Wang synchronises two wall projections and one monitor to construct a simulated ping-pong game in screen space. The ball appears to move with speed from wall projection to monitor to wall projection, implied by rhythmic audio cues describing the ball’s movement. The conventional expectation of the game and the balls movement is ruptured by unexpected behaviours. The perception of the space (built in the relationship between the projections and monitor) is both constructed and subsequently deconstructed with conficting rules.

王功新（生于1960年，中国）通过将物体与投影的合并，及屏幕的空间布置来强调作品的雕塑性。 在这件作品中，王功新同步了两面投影和一台显示器，在屏幕之间构建一场模拟的乒乓球比赛。球 似乎在两面投影和显示器之间伴随着有节奏的声音快速运动。然而出乎意外的行为打乱了人们对于 比赛和乒乓球的常规期待，因此，建立在投影和显示屏之间的空间认识在被建构同时也被冲突的规 则所解构。
