"The original concept of Nnnnnn's Nnnnnn which innovatively adapts the concept of tensile strength on the xxxx' structure has inspired me to think of the flow of movement within that rigid structure. From a point of view of a video artist and animator, I have explored, in this work, the possibilities of having infinite and fluid movement contained within the structure by still maintaining the strength of that structure.
I have presented this notion through a platform, a system of kinetic actuators, electronic devices in automating process control. This platform is comprised of 49 actuators. Each actuator always indicates to the same point. This point represents the imagined force, the source of the movement. When we move this point through the synchronized kinetic system, controlled by a computer, we can see the imagined force moves freely beyond the physical boundary of the platform."

Established in 2003 by Japanese architect Jiro Endo and Thai artist Wit Pimkanchanapong, Soi Project is a group of artists, musicians, architects and designers engaging audiences in interactive and social situations. Soi launches Ikon’s new Eastside space with a three-dimensional island,
an imaginary land mass made from a composite of satellite images drawn from Google Earth™. The passage of time on the island is simulated through the use of lighting that gradually shifts from night time darkness through brilliant daylight over a 24 minute cycle. Visitors are encouraged to influence the landscape and occupy areas of their choice by attaching templates of buildings, swimming pools and beach umbrellas.
