Project: The Path – immersive reactive installation at KIOSK Art Gallery, Ghent, Belgium
Technology: projections, interactive systems, generative visuals, light installation
Concept, design and production: YiNong Dong
This installation explores the profound relationship between Taoist philosophy and Nature, integrating advanced technology to raise awareness of Nature’s essential role in our lives.
Rooted in the teachings of Taoism, the work reflects the philosophy that true wisdom lies in humanity’s ability to comprehend and respect the natural processes and rhythms of the world. In a time when industrialisation has led to the neglect and sacrifice of Nature, our very habitat, this installation serves as a reminder of the imbalance caused by society’s fast-paced rhythms. People are so focused on future ambitions that they overlook the consequences of their present actions.
The installation guides visitors through four stages: Urban Environment, Nature, Self Discovery, and Self Balance. These stages symbolise the Taoist journey towards achieving inner balance. Through a carefully curated combination of sensory elements and interactive technologies, the installation offers a synaesthetic experience that immerses visitors in a reflective exploration of how humanity can reconnect with Nature and rediscover harmony in a modern world.
