表面位于一个具有重要环境背景的公共空间中：远处是强烈的视觉存在的Cheonngye和Maebong山，近处是博物馆的灿烂景观。场地本身是一片缓坡草场，与附近的山路相连。沿着斜坡上下行走，人们可以将场地作为更大的自然景观的一部分来体验，参观者与地形/地理特征之间的这种互动成为《表面》这个项目的一个重要前提。

The Surface is situated in a public space with an important environmental context: the strong visual presence of the Cheonngye and Maebong Mountain is afar, and the splendid landscape of the museum is in close proximity. The site itself is a gently sloped grass field that is connected to the nearby mountain trail. Walking up and down the slope allows one to experience the site as part of the larger natural landscape, and this interaction between the visitors and the topographic/geographic features became an essential premise for the project, The Surface.

“表面 “是一个特定场地的感性互动装置，在这里人们可以以一种新的方式与自然相联系。我们想象了一个有弹性的水平表面，覆盖在倾斜的草场上。它由700个尼龙网盘组成，每个网盘都连接在灵活的杆子上面。尼龙网在不同的温度和湿度下会发生变形，使表面看起来像一个生物。它的反应特性使开-关和光-影的状态之间产生有趣的对话。尼龙网也反映了日出和日落的气氛，以及周围景观的季节性变化。表面在风、雨、雪和人中摇摆。人们在其中穿梭，在视觉、听觉和触觉上与自然互动。

The Surface is a site-specific and sensually interactive installation where people can relate to nature in a new way. We imagined a resilient horizontal surface that covers the sloped grass field. It is comprised of 700 nylon mesh disks, each connected on top of flexible poles. The nylon meshes morph at different temperatures and humidity, allowing the surface to appear like a living creature. Its responsive property makes interesting dialogues between the states of open-close and light-shadow. The nylon meshes also reflect the atmosphere of sunrise and sunset, and seasonal changes of the surrounding landscape. The Surface sways in the wind, rain, snow, and people. Weaving through it, the people interact with nature visually, auditorily, and tactilely.

在斜坡的最高处，人们可以看到一望无际的地平线，反映出远处和近处的风景，就像他们在看一个水面。当人们走下斜坡时，他们可以潜入水面下，进入薄而灵活的杆子的领域。在杆子之间行走，人们可以得到一个森林的印象，被一个半透明的树冠覆盖。潜入水面下的拐点创造了一个从水到森林的突然过渡。除了作为一个物体之外，”表面 “成为人与自然之间的感性媒介。

At the highest elevation of the slope, people can see an endless horizon that reflects the distant and close landscapes, as if they are looking at a surface of water. When people walk down the slope, they can submerge under the surface, entering the field of thin, flexible poles. Walking between the poles, people can get an impression of a forest, covered by a translucent canopy. The inflection point of submerging under the surface creates a sudden transition from water to forest. Beyond just being an object, The Surface becomes a sensual medium between the people and nature.
