Giant Urchins
Crochet and other forms of handmade crafts are making a comeback, thanks to renewed interest in DIY self-sufficiency. But we’ve also seen crochet move from the domain of the home and into the streets, “crochet-bombing” cars, trees and even urban monuments in public spaces.
Based out of London and Seoul, Choi+Shine Architects constructed this large-scale installation reminiscent of sea urchins that uses crochet techniques. Recently showcased at Singapore’s iLight Marina Bay Festival, The Urchins installation is meant to shine in the sunlight during the day, and glow as it is illuminated at night, creating the sense that these giant, crocheted marine organisms have come out of the water to amaze and delight.
由於對DIY自給自足的新興趣，鉤針編織和其他形式的手工藝品正在捲土重來。但我們也看到鉤針從家庭領域進入街道，“鉤針轟炸”汽車，樹木甚至公共場所的城市紀念碑。
Choi + Shine Architects位於倫敦和首爾之外，建造了這個大型裝置，讓人想起使用鉤編技術的海膽。最近在新加坡的iLight濱海灣藝術節上展出，The Urchins裝置在白天在陽光下閃耀，在夜晚被照亮時發光，讓人感覺這些巨大的鉤針編織的海洋生物從水中出來讓人驚嘆不已。並且高興。
The designers say that the concept was to create a “visual filter” and a “lacy room” of sorts where visitors can enter and feel a sense of wonder:
Seeing hovering and glowing lacy objects against majestic skyscrapers and dark water would make them pause and gaze. This momentary pause of the mundane routine of our life would hopefully give us an opportunity to find the poetry around us.
設計師說，這個概念是為了創造一個“視覺過濾器”和一個“花邊的房間”，讓遊客可以進入並感受到一種奇妙的感覺：
看到懸浮和發光的花邊物體對著雄偉的摩天大樓和黑暗的水，會讓他們停下來凝視。我們生活中平凡的日常生活的暫停將有希望讓我們有機會找到我們周圍的詩歌。
Each 56-foot-tall work of interactive art symbolizes the beauty and diversity of nature. Though, at night, the works are spotlit by artificial luminescence, during the day, The Urchins rely on natural light to cast ephemeral, ever-changing shadows. Similarly, each suspended sculpture organically moves when touched by the wind or even visitors, who are invited to handle the polyester cords and panels that compose it.
每個56英尺高的互動藝術作品象徵著大自然的美麗和多樣性。雖然在晚上，這些作品被人工發光點亮，白天，海膽依靠自然光來投射短暫的，不斷變化的陰影。同樣地，每個懸浮的雕塑在被風或甚至是訪客接觸時都會有機地移動，他們被邀請處理組成它的聚酯帘線和麵板。
A team of 50 people has spent 2 months twisting the double-braided polyester chords to create this trio of urchins that interact with natural light during the day, and glow when illuminated at night. A single urchin is about 56 feet (17 meters) in size and weighs about 220 pounds (100 kilograms).
一個由50人組成的團隊花費了2個月的時間扭曲雙編織聚酯和弦，創造了三個與白天自然光相互作用的海膽，並在夜間照明時發光。單個海膽的大小約為56英尺（17米），重約220磅（100千克）。
