The viewers experience being surrounded by countless ascending particles of light. White pieces of thread are woven in a three-dimensional, polygonal form, which totaled several kilometers in length. This form functioned as a 3D screen, onto which thin lines of lights were irradiated via a projector. These linear lights repeatedly appear from the ground, then ascended and disappeared. The particles of light manifest themselves at the intersections between the threads and the linear lights. Even though the linear lights ascended at a constant speed, the light particles appeared as if they were all moving at different speeds. These differences occurred depending on the distances of the threads from the light source and the angles of the woven threads. That is, the closer the thread was to a perfect horizontal line, the faster the linear light moved, and the closer it was to a perfect vertical line, the slower the light moved. Complex phenomena take place before the viewer’s eyes, despite Chida’s use of a simple structure and materials. Faint rainbow colors are also manifested over the light particles due to the shift in hues, caused by the type of DLP (Digital Light Processing) projector that was used. Inside the installation are several paths for the viewers to walk through, as well as a wide space where they could lay on the ground.
