Spiral 2.0 - Public Art Installation

"Spiral" uses a matrix of mirrors to reconstruct the double-helix structure of DNA, aiming to generate tension in public space among algorithmic imagery, biological structures, and the audience as social participants through generative visuals. At the level of generative algorithms, its fundamental units and the structural relationships between them determine the (continuously producing) functions—paralleling the role of DNA in determining hereditary traits—thereby constructing an intertextual relationship within "Spiral." The work deliberately distinguishes the connection between its internal spacetime and the external world: at night, its mirrored surfaces reflect the generative imagery constructed in digital form; by day, the mirrors capture the urban landscape as an optical "generative imagery." The recurrence between these two, intertwined with the overlapping reflections of genetic structures, weaves the cultural genes of the site. The perception of contemporary art audiences in society is undoubtedly complex and ever-shifting: the inanimate appears to be rationally explained by the non-living, yet the non-living, through its generative and organic forms, seems to acquire a primal vitality; the enigma of life itself is posed in its own form.
