在数字时代，技术已成为我们生活的一部分。互联网、智能手机和电子产品被用作交流的手段。但有些领域是技术无法填补的。

“绽放”是一个互动音视频装置，强调了人与人之间联系的重要性。它以一棵真人大小的3D樱花树的形式呈现，这棵樱花树在东亚文化中是社会关系和生命短暂性的常见象征。

作为对参与者皮肤接触、心跳和动作的响应，“绽放”会根据他们的亲密程度开花。当观众握手或拥抱时，数字樱花树上的花朵会绽放并散落。当他们停止身体接触时，花会恢复到未开花的状态。花朵的颜色会根据参与者相互作用时的心跳速率变为白色或红色（心跳越快，色调越红；心跳越慢，色调越白）。除了视觉反应外，声音也会根据树木的不同阶段进行调整：未开花、开花、花瓣飘落。

满树盛开的美丽景象展示了身体接触如何增强和照亮人类的精神。正如“绽放”中的樱花树所展示的那样，当它繁盛时，这是人际关系处于巅峰时期的提醒。

In the digital age, technology is now an integral part of our lives. The Internet, smartphones, and electronics have been used as a means of communication. But there are some areas that technology cannot fill.

"Blooming" is an interactive audiovisual installation that highlights the importance of human connection. It takes the form of a life-size 3D Cherry blossom tree, which is a common symbol of social ties and transience of life in East Asian culture.

As a response to participants' skin-to-skin contacts, heart rate, and gestures, "Blooming" blossoms according to their intimacy. As audience members hold hands or embrace, the digital Cherry tree flowers bloom and scatter. When they let go off their physical contacts, the flower return to its pre-bloom state. The color of the flowers turns white or red based on participants' heart rate as they interact with each other. (the faster the heart rate, the redder the tonality; the slower the heart rate, the whiter the tonality). In addition to the visual responses, sounds are also modulated according to the tree's different stages: pre-bloom, blooming, petals falling.

The beauty of the tree in full bloom is an illustration of how physical contact enhances and brightens the human spirit. When a cherry blossom tree flourishes, as it does in "Blooming," it is a reminder of human relationships at their peak.
