Projected Poems

Poem Paviliion Cuts Sunlight into Poetry

— April 20, 2008 — Art & Design
The incredible One Day Poem Pavilion installation by art student Jiyeon Song creatively uses the sun light to display a poem for 8 hours during the day.

The ingeniously crafted installation uses a "complex array of perforations, light passing through the pavilion's surface produces shifting patterns, which transform into the legible text of a poem."

The unique arrangement of the perforations reveals different poems depending on the solar calendar: "During summer solstice, the poem will contain the theme of “new life”. During winter solstice, the poem will be on “reflection and the passing of time.”

According to Song, the poem can be seen between 8 AM and 4PM. Each poem line lasts about an hour.
Trend Themes
1. Solar-powered Art Installations - With the increasing focus on renewable energy and sustainable art installations, there is an opportunity for art students and professionals to create more installations that use solar power to display their work
2. Dynamic Art Installations - The use of dynamic materials, like perforated surfaces, to display art offers a unique opportunity for artists and designers to create immersive and interactive experiences for viewers
3. Solar Calendar-inspired Art - Art installations influenced by the solar calendar can offer a deeper level of meaning and engagement with both the natural world and poetry.
Industry Implications
1. Art and Design - The art and design industry can benefit from incorporating sustainable materials and solar power to create dynamic and visually stunning installations for public spaces and events
2. Renewable Energy - The renewable energy industry can explore new partnerships with the art and design industry to bring solar-powered installations to a wider audience and showcase the potential of alternative energy sources
3. Event Planning - Event planners can incorporate solar-powered art installations, like the One Day Poem Pavilion, into outdoor events to provide a unique and immersive experience for attendees.
