In October 2006, artist, Tatsuo Miyajima completed the commission work for the annex wing of Denver Art Museum designed by Daniel Liebeskind. ACF participated in this project, DENVER PROJECT, as a coordinator.
<Concept>
The LED numbers repeatedly count from one to nine or nine to one. Some of them count slowly, others count fast: each counting speed is different. We will hold a workshop to let the citizens of Denver set the speeds of each LED: I think the “time”, “history” and “character” of Denver will be recorded on it. The LED numbers are a metaphor for “each individual’s life force”, “each individual’s history” and “each individual’s time”. The mirror is a metaphor for “en”. “En” is the Buddhist concept of “relationship” that states a human being can’t exist independently. It can exist only by relating with nature, relation with the universe and relation with other people.
