Chinese ceramics is one of the most important symbols of Chinese culture and heritage becoming synonymous to China itself. These delicate artifacts encompass both shape and pattern and were once used frequently in daily life. Streak Artefacts elaborates on the idea that we are still able to reuse methods, designs and ideas from 2000 years ago and reinterpret them into modern applications. This interactive art installation transports back the vivid colors of ancient ceramics from different dynasties including Zhou, Han and Jin, reviving them into our modern society. This continuous rotation of emerging and fading light is a reenactment of how even as we progress in time we can still constantly reinvent ideas through our past.
