Voyage是一个由数百艘可变色的超大浮动折纸船组成的船队，在场地上创造了强烈的艺术姿态。这是一件艺术品，它与周围的空间建立了对话，并根据环境改变了配置、大小和排列。
Voyage创造性地改造了滨水区，扩展了不同城市和地方的河流、湖泊、运河和水域的物理空间。自2012年以来，它已前往英国伦敦;美国巴尔的摩;毕尔巴鄂西班牙;美国亚利桑那州斯科茨代尔;堪培拉,澳大利亚;欧文,苏格兰;索尔福德码头，英国;英国布莱尼姆宫;梅斯、法国;迪拜,阿联酋;英国邱园;英国利兹;英国Bedgebury;苏格兰爱丁堡皇家植物园;英国切尔西溪;英国威尔特郡斯图黑德;法国巴黎的La Défense；每个时间根据具体位置调整布局和大小。
艺术家们的目标是激发人们创造性地思考他们周围的空间，在公共空间中邀请有趣的人和社会参与。
“航行”这个词的词源来自拉丁语“viāticum”，意思是“旅行的准备”，而这件艺术品的目的是让观众可以自由地旅行和航行到他们想象的所有地方。水上五颜六色的纸船邀请大家从现实过渡到想象，重温童年的记忆，拥抱我们的自由;“航行”模糊了真实与超现实之间的界限，邀请参观者的思想跨越他们想象的边界。

Voyage is a flotilla of hundreds of colour changing oversized floating origami 'paper boats', that creates a strong artistic gesture on the site. It’s a piece of art that establishes a conversation with the surrounding space, and changes configuration, size and arrangement in relation to the context.
Voyage creatively transforms waterfronts, expanding the physical space of rivers, lakes, canals and waters of different cities and places. Since 2012, it has travelled to London, UK; Baltimore, US; Bilbao, Spain; Scottsdale, Arizona, US; Canberra, Australia; Irvine, Scotland; Salford Quays, UK; Blenheim Palace, UK; Metz, France; Dubai, UAE; Kew Gardens, UK; Leeds, UK; Bedgebury, UK; Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh, Scotland; Chelsea Creek, UK; Stourhead, Wiltshire, UK; La Défense Paris, France; La each time adapting layout and size, based on the specific location.
The artists' aim is to inspire people to think creatively about the spaces around them, inviting playful and social engagement in public space.
The etymon of the word 'voyage' comes from Latin 'viāticum', which means 'provision for travelling', and the aim of the artwork is to allow viewers to travel and sail with absolute freedom to all the places they care to imagine. Colourful paper boats on the water invite everyone to make a transition from reality to imagination, reliving childhood memories and embracing our freedom; blurring the lines between the real and hyper-real, Voyage invites the thoughts of the visitors to cross the borders of their imagination.
