'The Darker Side of Light - Color' is a disorienting space that invites the audience to experience shifts in sensory perception. Upon entering the cubed space, viewers are immersed in an ambience of white light augmented by subtly pulsing LED lights. When one puts on a wireless headset, all external sound is blocked. The camera records the viewer and the surrounding environment, transferring real-time images onto monitors, each displaying a different angle of the space. The images reflect partial reality, as the artist intervenes into the space through an intricate system of synchronization of images and light. The bright space then appears in darkness on the screens, while music plays through the headset, creating a multi-sensory experience.
《光的背面－色彩》制造了一个令人迷失方向的空间，让观众体验感知惯性的转移变化。进入立方空间后，观众将沉浸于脉冲LED灯渲染的白光氛围中。当他们戴上无线耳机，外来的声音会被隔绝。摄影机从西面上空记录观众和周围环境，并将实时图像传送到显示器上，而每个显示器展示着不同的空间角度。图像只反映局部的现实情况，因为艺术家透过错综复杂的系统，调控外部图像和光线同步出现在空间内，内部空间因此被介入混淆。原本明亮的立方体其后转化为漆黑的时空，而耳机播放的音乐制造出多重感官体验。
The Darker Side of Light - Color is a project to explore the on-site experience that the audience receives through the display of an artwork. In order to achieve this survey, the main target is to allure the audience attentively into the work instead of viewing the show through other media than their own eyes. The artist programmed a set of high frequency flickering lighting installation which synchronizes only with a real-time recording camera. This experience cannot be captured by any 3C products nor any forms of images. Through this work, the artist questions the idea of how audience experiences exhibitions nowadays. By showcasing this project, the artist would like to provide the audience with a total experience and discover the possibility of human vision.
此项目欲对观众于展览现场的视觉经验进行讨论，一个主要议题就是摒弃通过媒体作为宣传渠道，去除以照片拍摄来分享展览作品的方式。这件作品利用灯光装置的频闪只同步与展览现场的实时摄像机快门的特性，无法通过拍照片和拍录像来拍摄记录，因此该作品是无法通过照片来完整的传达作品的全部。也是一种对当代观看展览文化的一种质疑，让观众舍弃科技媒介，真切的以肉眼和临场体验来感受人体视觉的可能。
