he 2022 "Hsinchu City Glass Art and Design Festival: Glasspedia" examined glass through scientific knowledge. Taking the glass molecule as the basic unit, the festival highlighted the various ways glass touches our modern lives through a more approachable perspective.
The primary visual elements of the event utilized light blue tones and soft curves to emulate the clarity and transparency of glass. The gradation conveys the motion of wind and air, while tiny, precise interconnected dots depicted silica sand “SiO2,” slowly constructed into three-dimensional glass objects. This setup gave a dynamic sense of leafing through an encyclopedia, transforming the rigid chemical symbol into a common element in our daily lives. It encouraged visitors to rediscover the “presence of transparency in life.”
The visual theme of each area featured the message that the exhibition wished to convey to visitors, showcasing the different forms of glass in everyday life: The “143 glass cup” symbols the familiar presence of glass in our lives and presents a multi-faceted display of transparency. The “glass vase” symbolized the exquisiteness and elevated state of glass. The “glass orchid sculpture” manifested the pursuits of skill and art. Centered around the theme of “glass wind chimes,” a feature found at every stall in the market, the event aims to infuse a sense of airiness and freshness into everyday life. “Patterned glass” echoed the idea of art installations, creating effects like fireworks under the changing play of light.
