Kids' APT - A collaboration

Designed to evoke the sensation of touch, Charwei Tsai’s interactive was a sequence of projected images over the hand basins in the Children’s Art Centre bathrooms. The footage of sea creatures became intermingled with children’s hands as they washed them, providing a new experience of an everyday activity.

Could it be the sky where the rain falls from? Or the ocean the octopus is living in? Imagine all the places that the water has travelled through and all the people who helped the water to reach you. And imagine all the animals and plants who we are sharing the water with. Could it be the little frog who is sitting in the rain forest? Or the hippo family who is swimming by? Now imagine how the water flows through and connects us all. Charwei Tsai 45
