We had the distinct pleasure to interview award winning designer Lee Chi about their original and creative Installation Art design work. Lee Chi is an award-winning communication designer, that makes our world a better place with their original installation art works.
Lee Chi ("LC") answered Design Interview ("DI") questions about their award-winning work Inorganic Mineral Installation Art. Interview questions prepared by Frank Scott.
LC : Inorganic substances, as recognizable compounds, have become the primary environmental condition for people in cities to rely on. Based on Taiwan's history, it is understandable to see a delicate balance between the social class and quality in cities. Lee engages the artworks with the environmental elements and emphasizes that the natural generative context covers all the changes as well as details on the earth today. For that reason, he sheds light on the relationship between his artworks and space where they settle.
LC : The theme of this series of works is to investigate the nature of materials and how materials, after being disassembled, can be reconstructed by the aesthetic system and new perspective. Lee also probes into the utilization of plants in the city apart from the outdoor landscape. The redefinition and reconstruction of plants and other artificial materials may make natural landscape have an emotional impact on people.
LC : I will continue to create artworks.
LC : It took us a month to complete the production.
LC : I decided to set this concept myself because I consider the changes in the environment need to be presented artistically.
LC : The works are produced by me and my company “Botaniplan von Lee Chi”, and the artworks are all sold and rent.
LC : I want to present the intersection between the environment and humans in the form of artworks.
LC : I like to see all types of design, as well as the process and solving ability of different designers thinking about an issue.
LC : We have not set a target customer.
LC : Computers, pens, and all of related equipments that will be used to complete the artwork.
LC : I think the most unique aspect in our designs is to deconstruct the landscape and texture in Taiwan's cities and then from which let the artworks demonstrate the spiritual images of the environment and the connection between different material compositions.
LC : Myself, and a team with various backgrounds including fine art, architecture, fashion, and industrial design.
LC : This series of works explores the way to make the non-recyclables produced non-unidirectional value under the economic system. It carries out experiments on its development potentials and various techniques of the manufacturing process based on the nature of materials. Therefore, the inorganic waste can be recycled and remade as mixed media for artworks.
LC : The main challenge is how to respond to changes in the reality.
LC : Executed by my team.
LC : Through the design process, we are more aware of the environmental issues that we have been paying attention to, and we need to work harder to solve them through design.
