INTRO

My name is Chin Ko Tsan and I am 25 years old born in Kaohsiung. My external characteristics are thin and tall, and my personality is gentle and spiteful, but sometimes I am as passionate as Kaohsiung. I like to make friends whose personalities matching mine,beside I wish myself that has always been a child who remember who am I for good.

I hate the person who bully the good people and fear the bad guy,in a result I always fight against the things I don‘t like.

The most important things for me in this world are myself, my family ,mt hood and my art, they are the things that lead me to understand my life.

My family is like the soil, art is the sunshine and rain, and I am the sapling that will emerge from the earth.

BEGINNING

I like travelling independantly , I can get rid of a number of annoying things .

While I walking oversea , the most important and most interesting thing is see the building. Observing them in different angle and dimension bring me a infinitely inspiration .

DESTRUCTION

First time considered sculpture as a conceptual work with architectural philosophy . I created internal space by stainless stell, which having feature of mirror. In a result it can reflect surrounding and make visitors have a illusion when they whatch.

MONUMENT

MAKE IT STRONGER

I keep thinking how to amplify the sensation ,because I want to strengthen my perspective to criticize those notorious develpers and campanies

This time I convert the rebar material into silicon rebar , trying to build a dramaticly tragedy feeling.

Developer of Collapsed Building have a suspicion of criminal business misconduct resulting in fatalities.

CONSUME

The trolley is an item that often appears in shopping malls and is used to carry goods, so the meaning of the existence of the trolley is extended and changed to make use of steel bars, a material commonly used in construction, but this time it does not carry any goods of economic value, but grass that can be seen everywhere on the roadside.

THE EARTH

I combine the contradictory materials of postindustrial man-made products and nature's products, highlighting the organic sense of life and the inorganic sense of coldness. I also change the way the tools are shaped and weaken the practicality of the tools, hoping not to take away the beauty that nature gives to people in the world, and on the other hand, I satirize that tool messengers are also the destroyers of nature.

METABOLISM

TRAVEL BACK

I turn back memories of the past by searching photos and antique from my home. I'm actually quite grateful to myself for being able to find those things, because I would silently preserve them ,and didn't know when to open them. When I see historicly stuff , it might be regarde the lessons and insights to learne it in the past, and some of them also represented gratitude and blessings. Whether good or bad I will keep it, I always believe that one day when I look backward,it will proof I really grown up.

I BELIEVE I CAN FLY

, I BELIEVE I CAN TOUCH THE SKY

PROCESS

Before completing the 1:1 model, the rolling surface and the weight ratio of the material were developed through many models.

1 The curvature of the wings came from: sandpaper sanding test, repeated testing to get the rolling curve I like and safe.

PROCESS

2 The calculation of the friction came from: making a 1:1 sketch model first, then put it on each different ground material to find the perfect rolling field.

3 The curvature of the bones that connect the wings comes from: the width and thickness of my body, because I have to entrust my body to the device, so I have to create a stable placement space.

IF I CAN

If I could live anywhere, where would I live?

If I could build my own house, what would it look like?

If I could choose the environment I live in, what would the surrounding landscape look like?

MEMORY

FROM MOM

I remember that as a baby, Kagome loved to listen to her mom and dad tell stories before bedtime. Then he could sleep through the night, but in the morning he was very active when he woke up. Even though there was a stroller in the house at the time, it didn't hold him. He seemed to hate the stroller. He was unstable when he got in the stroller. So when he started to crawl, the floor of the house allowed him to crawl everywhere. What about going out to play? This time it's all about mom and dad's hand strength. Later, a friend gave a set of wooden stacking music. Surprisingly, Keshi was playing with the stacking games. We found that he was very patient and grew from being able to crawl to walking at 11 months. Well, he is also very stable in personality and emotion, which makes us as parents feel very relieved.
