Wu Wei-Ting:Mushroom Cloud

Have we tried to calculate the area of the diagonal line? or that of the shaded area? Asking questions inside or outside the bounds of the drawing is in fact a question of calculating the surface area, and it is more concerned with the internal and external relationship between the boundary. Artist Wu Wei-Ting brought this question into the space. After copying the dimensions of the beams and columns that appeared onsite, and Wei-Ting placed them in the space with a fixed inclination, implying that the generation of boundaries is a variable perspective and highlighting the density of viewing.

In this project, using Teaory's essential oil and the diffuser, the fragrance spray affects the density of space through perception and converts the liquid state into the phenomenon of volatilisation, which is presented in the form of sculpture: the outline and extent of the fog. Based on the description and smell of many compound essence products, I selected "Sandalwood Dark Tea essential oil,"which has the following product description: "Myrrh, Sandalwood | Like an old tea drinker, burn a furnace of sandalwood before tea. The ultimate state, the tranquil myrrh, and the sandalwood for meditation, unlock the mysterious key to connecting with oneself." This invites the viewer to find the source of the smell.

When perceiving a place, gazing at the space boundary, ground plane, corner, and light and shadow, the atmosphere is generally needed and exists daily, and the space is the production field of the daily things. In changing the inherent space of the column, this occurs through the placement of objects, the smog of the diffuser and fluttering of the smell, the emptiness of the mist, and the method of linking the work with the arc to gently guide the viewing direction. Smell is a memory method that provides spatial density and physical perception, creating a dense space rich in poetry.
