Get permission

I did not get any permission to put my work here because I am lazy and did not talk to any administrator there. So I am anxious and afraid that they would force me to put it back.

guard

A guard in Zhongshan Park come to me. I am anxious. He said to me that it is not allowed to put this piece in the park. Then a lot of passengers went by this piece and become curious. Then they ask me about the concept and how I make it. After my explanation, the guard allowed me to put this piece there and leave.

The guard also come back to me a few minutes later. He said that he saw a great company making wind sculpture in Tictok. He introduce it to me and ask me to contact this company by inquiring my phone number and place a contact inquiry.

So many professors

I found there are so many professors in a park. They are full of knowledge and time. Professors in Mechanism give me advice of how to improve the assembly. Professors in Mechatronics even took me to a electronic components market in Shanghai and tell me about PIC and how it is applied in his engineering project practice. Professors in art also told me about her feeling.

I like park

Park is a place people can appreciate projects slowly and everyday. My piece belong to those elder people who come to park every day. They are thinking so sincerely about my project. They can see the shape to be a butterfly. However, I did not design a butterfly. Their consciousness and long time observation makes me moved.
Some people are thinking about light and weather and they volunteered to place my piece in the right sunlight condition when I am not in the park. My piece also give them an opportunity to communicate with each other. For example, a physics professor makes friends with a mechanism professor in front of my piece. When I finished the piece and I am worrying about whether this piece is broken or not. So everyday, I would go to the park frequently to just see if it is safe. However, I cannot go back home because there are always people interested in this project and kept asking me questions. I also enjoy it a lot and spend 2-3 hours in the park everyday. Before I am talking to myself and doing design. The conversation in park is so meaningful to me. An interesting question they would frequently ask is What is this piece. Is is an artwork or an experiment? I find it interesting because in a gallery people are assuming everything to be art and when in a park this absolute assumption failed.
