Muse is an experimental design project studying the musical perception of human through three installation experiences. People are encouraged to interact with the installations and explore the music visually with their own perception. We try to understand how people understand music here.
The name ‘Muse’ is taken from the inspiration of Greek mythology. The Greek goddesses of art & music are the Muses. They are known as one entity, though there are actually 9 of them and each is unique in their own way. It resonances with the concept of perception as perception could be understood universally to some extent, though still unique among each of us.
This project concerns the relationship between space and visual perception. Space and how it is perceived are essential elements for environmental design and architecture. Perception relates to an individual’s viewpoint as a unique and subjective phenomenon. This project elaborates how human capacities enable sensory contact with the world around us.The project explores this idea through pure geometry, particularly regular polyhedrons, reflective surfaces, and translucency. These phenomenological explorations deliver unexpected viewpoints, juxtapositions, and points of view, questioning what happens when unexpected views and perspectives confront a viewer’s perception.
