project
For the exhibition, Huang will conduct a scientific experiment involving materials gathered within the 1:100 location; on streets, sidewalks, underground, stores, restaurants and buildings. The goal is to bring these materials to life without creating a catastrophic effect that disturbs the delicate ecological balance within the map site. His research will take the form of a sculputural installation in the gallery.
