胡泉纯｜《炫彩望京》——望京城市地标

《炫彩望京》是为北京望京城区创作的一座城市地标。作品位于望京城区的望京西路和阜通西大街交汇处，该区域是进入望京城区的主要路口，是城区门户。

The sculpture Colorful Wangjing is a new landmark created for Wangjing Sub-district in Beijing. It is located at the junction of Wangjing West Road and Futong West Avenue, which is a main intersection towards the downtown of Wangjing and is also an urban gateway.

望京原本是北京东北部一片广袤的农田，经过近二十年的快速发展，目前依托其地段、交通、科技、时尚、宜居、国际商务氛围等多项优势，成为北京一个集国际事务、国际商务、移动互联网科技区、时尚生活区和社交功能兼具的综合型和国际性区域。创作的任务是通过设置一座城市地标来标识城区门户空间区域，彰显这座国际化新城的城市精神。

Wangjing was once vast farmland in the northeast of Beijing. But the nearly 20-year rapid development has turned it into a comprehensive and international area that integrates international affairs and business, mobile internet technology zones, fashion, living and social activities, by taking advantage of its favorable location, transportation, technology, fashion, livability and international business environment. In such a context, the project is intended to create a landmark to identify an urban gateway and to exemplify the spirit of this international new area.

《炫彩望京》这座城市地标作品的创作概念和形式直接来源于对“望京”这一古地名的现代诠释与表达。在古代，这一区域之所以被称为“望京”，意指只要到达这里就可以直接望见京城。由此可见，“望京”这一地名本身就具有空间标识性和方位指向性的意蕴。巧合的是，在城市卫星地图上看，作品正对着的望京西路向北京主城区的延长线的确可直抵天安门广场，因此，新增的城市地标仍蕴含有“守望京城”的古意。“望”与“看”都是通过眼睛来实现的，因此，对“眼睛”的抽象表达构成了这座城市地标的基本形态。也正因为如此，作品落成后，望京市民将这件作品称之为“望京之眼”，如此称呼也算贴切！

The concept and form of the landmark sculpture are derived from the modern interpretation and expression of "Wangjing", a place name that can date back to ancient times. "Wangjing" literally means "look out to the imperial city", implying that the imperial city is visible in this area, and thus it represents a strong identity of space and direction. What's more, from the satellite map, the extension of Wangjing Road next to the sculpture can reach Tian'anmen Square and hence the new landmark inherits the ancient meaning of "looking out to the imperial city". To echo this, the design adopts an abstract image of an "eye" as the basic form of the landmark sculpture. And this is also the reason why citizens name it "The Eye of Wangjing" after its completion.

创作力图通过极简的形态去传递丰富的城市内涵，同时，作为一件公共艺术作品，希望既实现城市地标的标识功能又与城市未来发展和市民日常生活共生。作品主体直径为18米，通过外围不锈钢钢环用钢索将中央的双曲面LED屏张拉起来，共同构成简约的“眼睛”形态。外环面层材料之所以采用镜面不锈钢是希望实现主体结构的消隐，钢索的张拉使得中央的“瞳孔”产生悬浮感和神秘感。

The design tries to communicate rich city context in a minimalist form, and to create a piece of public art that turns into a city landmark while harmonizing with future development and daily life. The outer circle of the sculpture, with a diameter of 18 meters and made of stainless steel, holds the inner circle— a hyperboloid LED screen through steel cables, together forming a simple form of an "eye". The outer circle is built with mirrored stainless steel to integrate the main structure into the environment, and the steel cables add a sense of suspension and mystery to the central "pupil".

在这三个基本的结构和造型元素之中，双曲面LED屏（瞳孔）是作品的核心和灵魂，作品的丰富性和意义就体现在此，因为LED屏可以展示丰富的内容，以体现“眼中万象”的绚丽效果。另外，作品的互动性也体现在此，因为LED屏播放的内容将由其他艺术家和市民共同来完成。

Among the three basic elements, the hyperboloid LED screen (i.e. the "pupil") is the key. It reflects the richness and significance of the work, as the screen can display various contents to create a brilliant visual effect that everything is in this "eye". It also highlights interaction as the contents are created by artists and the citizens together.

创作最初的设想是：在未来日常的使用中，将委托不同的艺术家根据每天不同的时段、每年不同的季节、不同的节日、不同的重大活动创作出与市民日常生活相关的多媒体艺术作品，以体现望京这座新城区多元、包容、炫彩的城市精神和特点。因此，《炫彩望京》这件作品对于望京这座城市的意义在于，它不仅仅是一件城市地标作品，还是一个与大众互动关联的开放的多媒体艺术展示窗口，实时的体现这座现代化新城的人文精神气质。

The idea is to invite various artists to create multi-media artworks relevant to the daily life of the citizens based on different times of the day, different seasons, festivals and major activities, to showcase the diversity, inclusiveness and colorfulness of Wangjing in its spirit and characteristics. Therefore, the sculpture is not only an urban landmark, but also an open multi-media art display window that interacts with the public and displays the spirit and ethos of Wangjing in real time.

这一作品的实施，激活了望京西路和阜通西大街交汇处这一原本不起眼的小广场，在这里，作品每天都能为市民日常的休闲和交流活动提供不断流变的语境，作品即为望京这座城市而创作，更为重要的是为望京市民而创作。创作之处初，在考虑为城市增加新的空间视觉亮点的同时，也兼顾了最大限度的减少作品可能会对周边商住环境及交通带来的影响。为减少LED屏的亮度对周边商住环境的影响，设计中为LED屏特别增加了光感应器，这样LED屏就能智能的根据每天不同时段的天光亮度自行调节亮度，不仅如此，LED屏的前后两面还可以分开调节，以便最大限度的减少夜晚屏幕亮度对后方临近小区的影响。

The sculpture stimulates an inconspicuous small square at the junction of Wangjing West Road and Futong West Avenue, and creates a constantly changing context for daily entertainment and communication. It is designed for Wangjing, and more importantly, for its people. At the very beginning, the design considered creating a new visual highlight for Wangjing while minimizing its impacts on the surrounding commercial and residential environment and transportation. To that end, light sensors are added to the LED screen, which can auto-adjust brightness according to the light conditions at different times throughout the day. Besides, the front and rear sides of the LED screen can work separately to minimize the interference with the nearby residential communities at night.
