DESIGN NAME: The Second Nature
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Visual Identity
INSPIRATION: Inspired by flashlights from smartphones, I believe everyone could be an artist by using the most common tools in their lives. This design brings the audience and artists together through structured typography, light & shadow. Each viewer could create their lighting sculpture.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This rebrand includes two parts: Pace Gallery rebranding and Second Nature Exhibition's VI design.
The design of circular custom typography speaks to the younger generation as a bridge, while the richness of the colors serves to establish a second layer of visual tension.
Second Nature Exhibition is for Tokujin Yoshioka. This interactive installation brings the two worlds together through structured typography, light & shadow, and connected movement.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The project communicates with the audience at the exhibition space and in social media. The audience could use their own lighting source such as smartphone lighting to interact with the exhibition's installation and identity while they are playing with shadow and transparent materials.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project started in Fall 2016 and finished in spring 2017 in Pasadena, CA, U.S
