abstract
Background Nature is the subject explored in art history and artificial natural phenomena have been represented in installation works through the sensory interaction between works and participants, caused by scientific bases. It suggests new approach of the relationship extended to technology issue beyond the human and nature issues with developed technologies. Methods This paper reviews the theoretical background and related installations that participants can strongly concentrate on the interaction with artificial nature phenomena generated by media technologies. It also suggests Tent, Gong exploring for the uncertainty of nature through sounds and fog, as a case study. From a case study, the relationship between man, nature, space and media technologies are analyzed. Result Tents, Gong that consists of two tent units that only one participant can pass through at the end of the long, narrow space filled with white fog provides artificial nature interacting with participants. When the participants pass through the tent units, very low and heavy sound is played from the chinese instrument, gong hanging on the top of the tent units and white fog are filled around them. Participants are able to be aware of their movement by not visually but sound and more, it is hard to feel a sense of space because of thick fog. However, in the other hands, participants can recognize the movement of air by visual and tactile senses because fog becomes intermediate material showing the flow of air caused by the strong sound vibration Also, it spreads into the whole space and helps for a participant to recognizes the existence of the others who are hided behind the fog audibly. Conclusion Tent, Gong makes participants to concentrate on the moment they easily pass by presenting the empirical situation of artificial natural phenomenon in an indoor space. Moreover, participants are absorbed in artificial natural phenomena more strongly than the real one as knowing that the interactive natural phenomena in the work, are reproduced artificially. In this way, it presents the new way of perceiving the natural, human and environmental space to explore the nature going through more immersive experience of artificial natural phenomena, realized by the convergence of technology, science and art installation than the real situation.
