WHYIXD | Spectrum Light City Butterfly | Mixed media | Variable dimentions | 2018
WHYIXD chose the recycled Brightness Enhancement Film (BEF) as the material for the installation. BEF is mainly used in manufacturing LCD panels.
With its special prism structure on the surface, it enables light to refract straightly toward the center, effectively increase the bright level of LCD panel and dramatically decrease the cost of energy. We make BEF reborn into flying butterflies, flapping its wings shuttling in the sustainable city also made of BEF. The optical character of the films can generate a dazzling iridescence, transforming the recycled materials into a unique artwork. Those flapping wings are like an energy of cycle and sustainability, finding the solutions between the rainbow light.
