Light Space Time
When I explore the relationship between weather and emotion, I find that related artists' works are related to light, time and space. Light is used as a material in both natural and artificial lighting. The works of James Turrell, Doug Wheeler, and Olafur Eliasson have created an interactive atmosphere, a space created by light, to stimulate the audience's feelings. In addition to the dimension of space, James Turrell adds a dimension of time to his work.finishing the work according to the time of sunrise and sunset. Time, the time of sunlight, is related to sunrise and sunset. Space ,which spaces created by stimulating the human brain with light.
Artist Olafur Eliasson
THE WEATHER PROJECT
The work of Olafur Eliasson expresses the relationship between human emotion and the weather. His work not only shows the result of what he found, but he also creates an interactive atmosphere that audiences can experience the influence of weather directly. To sum up, audiences can see themselves sensing. In his work ‘The Weather Project’, he used lights to let audiences feel the power of sunlight. However, everyone’s feeling is different. It depends on the audiences' own experience. Sunlight or water stays in people’s ordinary life; it is about personal memories. His work is like the mirror, and people can get through it to increase self-reflection. That is, his works combine Anna Wirz-Justice's theory of chronobiology, which is about the influence of time and seasons on people's moods. In Anna Wirz-Justice's interview, she mentioned that ‘…everyone should go outside to get enough light to improve their mood in the morning and just to connect with the universe.’ People can find the philosophy of the universe by light; the work of Eliasson also explores the universe. People can feel a universal language of colour in his work. Because I concern about how emotions respond to weather, his work represents a way to create a feeling and how to reach emotional resonance. And the weather is not just a natural phenomenon; it's also a way for the human to relate themselves to the universe. Sunlight is an invisible object; Eliasson uses lots of different materials to express it; his work manifests a process of transforming abstraction into the concrete.

Olafur Eliasson installation 'Room for One Colour' invited audiences entre an interactive space. Audiences are immersed in a narrow wavelength of light had the effect of limiting one's spectral range and when looking around at others in the space is as though their perceptual apparatus was being re-calibrated and they were only capable of seeing shades of yellow, black, white and grey. His artworks are always saturated in a monochrome colour -- sodium yellowish hue. This kind of colour is easy to cause some warm feeling and relate to sunlight. However, Film Blade Runner 2049 also used predominantly yellow palette, people will have a strong feeling about sun. How to make an artificial environment connect to the sun and simulate perceptual apparatus? When I find the relationship between Blade Runner 2049 and Olafur Eliasson, I realized the main material in my art practice. Light Artists like choosing a strong colour or contrast colour to simulate spectators. Olafur's work, we can find some change of light, from brightness to darkness. This kind of transformation include philosopher of the time, people can experience the sunlight of the whole day.Light is expressed from two dimensions: time and space.
