Description

Have you ever dreamed of becoming a magician and having the power to make some magic stuff? Both Alina and I love all magical things. Getting inspiration from Card Captor Sakura, we planned to build a magic circle generator. The basic interaction of this generator is that users input their birthday and the generator will create a unique magic circle for him or her. Every magic circle is formed by four parts: a rotating 3D magic stone, a unique pattern, a special song and a sentence of the day. Hope you can enjoy this sparkling and glowing visual effect.

Because of Mulan‘s bravery and her great achievements in the war, she won the emperor‘s highest award. She has two choices now, one is to return to the life of a normal girl, to marry someone, to become a wife, a mother. The other is to be a female general. She is hesitating between these two choices, so she dives into her unconsciousness and listens to the truest voice in her heart.

From when she decided to take her father's place in the conscription army, to her came back from the war and got the emperor's highest honor.

Description

This year was so special. Standing at the end of 2020 and looking back, COVID was THE topic that no one could ignore. Study remotely and being alone changed the experience of studying in ITP. However, this special experience triggered my inspiration for making something of this topic. Two projects were made with the idea of During Quarantine. One is called New York Sunrise. I made a Sun of the real-time in New York. Due to the time difference, a lot of classes were given at midnight in Beijing. So I was thinking about making another Sun for myself. The other is the Life Cell. It is an interactive light installation that has several light 'cells'. Each cell will light up when audiences get closer to it and reveal a person's life in the cell. When the light inside is off, the audience can see nothing but a blank light shade. We want to use the interaction, getting closer, to express how people long to be connected with others during the quarantine.
