Framing the Seasons

An interactive work inspired by Song painting

Framing the Seasons is an interactive installation inspired by Song Dynasty fan paintings.

Audiences use real silk fans embedded with NFC chips to trigger subtle animations projected within a circular frame, echoing the aesthetic logic of cropped flower painting.

Each scene corresponds to a season, and each gesture reveals a painterly fragment.

The work explores how classical Chinese artistic logic can be re-activated through bodily interaction—turning a passive viewer into a participant in sensing, selecting, and framing.
