| DESIGN NAME: Sign Language PRIMARY FUNCTION: Situational Display Stand INSPIRATION: Sign language delivers messages using visual-manual modality. The connection between the design and the displayed subject is similar to sign language that a silent and subtle communication is happening. It is similar to an opera that a conductor performs in front of audiences. The selection of displayed subject shows hospitality and personal taste. UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The way this stand is presented like offering or displaying a subject to someone with anything from candies to personal collections. The larger set has branches made by the compositions of moving palms and gestures. It is an image collage of both hands with the size of grid for larger object. The smaller set comes in two separated image collages for two hands and a housing system for axial type of object. Size and orientation are changeable. OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The stand can be rotated and set in various combinations of numbers. This design comes in different sizes to accommodate various shapes and sizes of object. The proposed object to be displayed can be Jelly beans in which a perfect of match is made between the housing grids and the sense of sweet. Pens are also suitable because sign language works like a pen writing in the air. Plants are good too because it is a metaphor to admire Mother Nature. It is also perfect acceptable to leave it empty on top or around. PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: This 3D file was originally created as early as on 2014.03.04 in Taipei. Various types of configuration were applied in several stages of on-and-off preliminary tests. The specific set was finalized in 2018. The duration was about two months of intensive works.

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: The design configuration comprises two parts as the base configuration and the instance to fill-in. The former is a grid structure and the latter is square used in this design. The shape was transformed and fit into the deformed grid and then extruded to certain depth. A 3D parametric program and RP machine were used for production. Gold foil of a glamorous look was applied by an expert who works on traditional Buddhism sculptures. This is a difficult work because there were too many concave holes. The final foil was made twice. SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: The size of larger one is about 20 cm(W) x 20cm (D) x 20cm (H). The size of larger one is about 8 cm(W) x 8 cm(D) x 8 cm(H). TAGS: Sign language, situation installation, hand metaphor, gold foil RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Researches were made to the type of finish that can last a long period of time without color being faded away. Gold foil seems much better than other types of foils like silver, copper, or aluminum. CHALLENGE: The search of expert for this job led to the same company did for me before. But this time the first version was made poorly. The entire surface was asked to wash out and ended up with better result on the second time. Each size of the opening on this installation determines what the final image of the object-installation set could be. I found candies or old pencil studs worked best either for a coherent sweat sense or a contrast image of time. Clock gears also seem perfect on the smaller set with the brass tone next to the warm gray finish.
