‘ResoNet’ takes its name from the combination of resonance and network. It employs Low-Fi techniques to visualise the resonance frequencies inherent in the natural environment, via the interaction of the public and surrounding elements detected by a LED net. While the LED net is almost invisible during the day time, a pavilion constantly transforming colors provides a backdrop background for the LED light particularly at night, uplifted feeling like the north pole skylights. The project has two stages, stage one the translucent polypropylene panels look as an ice sculpture during the western New Year, stage two it covers up phoenix feather like cladding symbols the year of rooster before Chinese New Year.

The resin panel laminated with lunar effect film sheet gives a dramatic constant changing dressing. Its color depends on visitors’ viewing perspective and peripheral lighting conditions. The form was inspired by the shape of Jingle Bell which implies visitors to ring the New Year's bell. With the cladding of repetitive traditional Chinese coin patterns - square within circle, the new dressing follows Chinese customs signaling the prosperity and good wealth ahead. The project is aiming to explore the boundaries between art, culture, architecture and technology to create physical and ephemeral conditions.
