…∷《澳門點雲花園》完美謝幕︙…∷ ∷ …∷Macao Pointcloud Garden …∷ ∷ Finale

《澳門點雲花園》12月10日圓滿結束，當日下午，曾於開幕日表演民族音樂的樂隊Náv，在作品前舉行了展覽最後一場延伸活動「世界音樂體驗坊」。成員們藉著演奏及示範手碟、節奏沙球、非洲鼓和海浪鼓等不同樂器，讓參加者們體驗世界音樂的獨特魅力，與「風之花園」上展現的多元植物及花園形態互相呼應，為《澳門點雲花園》帶來了一場完美的閉幕式。

是次展覽自10月14日開幕以來，共錄得超過26,000人次入場參觀，期間所舉辦的14場公共教育及導賞活動，吸引了超過500人次參與，為我們帶來了遠超預期的滿足和喜悅，感謝每一位曾造訪參觀的市民及遊客，感恩有幸與你們相遇！

"Macao Pointcloud Garden" concluded on December 10th with a celebratory music workshop. Náv, the band that performed ethnic music on the opening day, was invited back to provide a "World Music Experience Workshop" to the public. Through teaching and demonstrating different instruments such as handpans, Asalato, African drums, and wave drums, the band members guided participants to experience the unique charm of world music. This harmonized with the diverse plants and garden forms showcased in the "Wind Garden," enabling a perfect closing ceremony for the exhibition.

Since its opening on October 14th, Macao Pointcloud Garden has attracted over 26,000 visitors. Throughout the exhibition period, 14 public education and guided tour activities were organized, engaging over 500 participants. The response has exceeded our expectations, bringing us immense satisfaction and joy. We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to every citizen and tourist who visited the exhibition. It has been a privilege to meet all of you!

:..:::..::澳門點雲花園..:::..展期最後一天 :..:: Macao Pointcloud Garden..::Final Day to Visit.:::.聽啁啾鳥鳴:..::看點雲流動:..:::..::

懷著依依不捨的心情，《澳門點雲花園》來到了展期最後一天，感謝所有曾在作品前駐足的觀眾，也感謝藝術家Clement Valla 創作了這座讓人驚奇、喜愛和流連的花園。八週展期間，聽過最多的評語是，喜歡作品與環境的契合，尤其是《透明花園》隱身在舊廠房的夾縫間、古樹煥發生機的土地上；人站在作品前，聽著啁啾鳥鳴，看著點雲流動，不覺心神俱靜，忘了時間。也聽到許多人，因為看展、參加工作坊，第一次走進益隆炮竹廠遺址內，或享受一份恬靜，或發現本地炮竹史的蛛絲馬跡。

展期最後一天，我們邀請了老朋友 Náv，在《澳門點雲花園》前舉行世界音樂體驗坊，邀請大家趁著這週日的陽光，帶上愉快的心情，與我們一同在樹下作樂。活動3點至5點進行，現場備有輕食飲料，歡迎walk in。

Today marks the final day to visit the "Macao Pointcloud Garden." We would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to artist Clement Valla for the creation of this astonishing and captivating garden. Throughout the eight-week exhibition, the prevailing feedback we received centered around the admiration for the seamless integration of the artworks with the surrounding environment, particularly the enchanting "Transparent Garden" nestled within the crevices of an old factory and the vibrant land adorned with ancient trees. Standing before these artworks, listening to the melodious chirping of birds and witnessing the graceful movement of the point clouds, one cannot help but succumb to a profound sense of tranquility, losing all sense of time. Many visitors have also shared their experiences of venturing into the historic Iec Long Firecracker Factory site for the first time, relishing in the serenity it offers and uncovering traces of the local firecracker history.

To commemorate the final day of this exhibition, we have invited our dear friend Náv to host a World Music Experience Workshop right in front of the "Macao Pointcloud Garden." We cordially invite everyone to join us beneath the trees, enveloped in a joyous atmosphere, as we revel in the warmth of Sunday sunshine. The event will be held from 3 PM to 5 PM, and light refreshments will be available on-site. Walk-ins are most welcome.

…∷《澳門點雲花園》延伸活動︙…∷ ∷聲音冥想體驗坊 …∷Macao Pointcloud Garden …∷ ∷Sound Meditation Session

《澳門點雲花園》上周日在益隆炮竹廠舊址舉行了一場「聲音冥想體驗坊」，在Náv樂隊帶領下，以多種來自非洲、澳洲原住民的傳統民族樂器，創造了一場音樂療癒之旅。 🧘🧘‍♂️🧘‍♀️

聲音治療並不是新鮮事，研究也證實特定樂器發出的音頻，可以調和身心靈狀態，達到療癒效果。活動當天，參加者先在瑜伽墊上或坐或臥，逐步放鬆身體各部份，樂隊成員則藉著演奏包括海浪鼓、頌缽、手碟（handpan）、沙球（asalato）、迪吉里杜管（Didgeridoo）等不同樂器，創造了一個平靜、和諧的氣氛與狀態，讓人得以在此氛圍下完全釋放壓力，感受大自然的力量。

🕛🕧🕐澳門點雲花園展期至本周日，當日下午3時至5時將有最後一場「世界音樂體驗坊」活動，歡迎你把握機會，前來參與！🕛🕧🕐

Last Sunday, the "Sound Meditation Workshop" was held as one of the public programs of the Macao Pointcloud Garden public art exhibition. Led by the local music band Náv, the workshop created a healing journey using a variety of traditional instruments from African and Australian indigenous cultures. 🧘🧘‍♂️🧘‍♀️

Sound therapy is not a new concept, and research has shown that the frequencies produced by specific instruments can harmonize the state of the body, mind, and spirit, leading to healing effects. On the day of the event, participants first relaxed their bodies on yoga mats, either sitting or lying down, while the band members played various instruments including ocean drums, singing bowls, handpans, asalato, and didgeridoo. This created a calm and harmonious atmosphere, allowing people to completely release stress and feel the power of nature within.

🕛🕧🕐The Macao Pointcloud Garden public art exhibition will run until this Sunday, and the last public program, "World Music Workshop", will take place from 3 PM to 5 PM on that day. You are welcome to seize the opportunity and participate! 🕛🕧🕐

░▒▓█ 澳門點雲花園 展期進入最後一周 █▓▒░

「在路氹城，到處都有大型螢幕，到處都是巨大的看板，這些螢幕有特定的節奏和韻律，它們非常迅速，全部都希望抓住你的注意力，盡可能地吸引你。所以，我希望這個公共藝術作品，能夠提供一種完全不同類型的、與螢幕相遇的體驗。我希望這些螢幕更加安靜，在你的眼角閃爍，但它們不會以同樣的方式要求贏得你的注意。」——摘自 Clement Valla 《讓我出乎意料的，是澳門的綠化空間》採訪

《澳門點雲花園》開幕至今近兩個月，這座以屏幕及數位方式展現的澳門虛擬花園，恭迎了數以萬計的市民及遊客，當中既有專門來觀看作品的藝術愛好者，週末前來參與延伸活動的大小細路，亦有在不經意間與作品相遇繼而駐足欣賞、心領神會之人，每個人都以不同的方式留下對作品的回憶。你對作品有又何觀感，歡迎留言與我們分享。

🌳展期尚有一個星期就結束，未看展的你、想在不同時間點再次感受這座花園的魅力的你，敬請把握機會，到花園去！🌳

In CoTai, there are giant billboards everywhere. All of these screens have a particular pace and rhythm. They are very fast, actually. All of these screens are meant to grab your attention and hold your attention as much as possible. And so, I'm hoping that with this public artwork, it actually gives an encounter with a completely different kind of a screen. I'm hoping these screens are much quieter and these screens sort of glimmer in the corner of your eye and maybe catch your attention, but they don't demand it in that same way. – Clement Valla on Macao Pointcloud Garden

"Macao Pointcloud Garden" has been open for almost two months now. This virtual garden, displayed through screens and created through digital technologies, has warmly welcomed tens of thousands of residents and tourists. Among them are art enthusiasts who specifically came to admire the artworks, children and adults who participated in weekend public programs, and individuals who unexpectedly encountered the artworks and paused to appreciate them, forming a profound understanding and connection. Each person has left their unique memories of the artworks. We invite you to share your impressions of the artworks by leaving a comment.

🌳 There is only one week remaining until the exhibition concludes. For those who have not yet visited or those who wish to experience the garden's charm at different times, we encourage you to seize the opportunity and visit the garden! 🌳

《澳門點雲花園》是「藝文薈澳：澳門國際藝術雙年展2023」的6件公共藝術作品之一，由澳門策展人林小雯策劃。為了今次創作，來自美國的數位藝術家Clement Valla考察了澳門大部份的花園與綠地，從中發掘獨特且重要的植物和花...

29/11/2023

…∷《澳門點雲花園》︙…∷ ∷作品介紹 Macao Pointcloud Garden ︙…∷ ∷About the Artwork

《澳門點雲花園》分成兩部份，「風之花園」及「透明花園」。當你剛從松樹尾方向踏進益隆，映入眼簾的兩塊大型LED屏幕，就是「風之花園」。藝術家Clement Valla 先在田野調查中拍下了數千張澳門不同花園及綠地的照片，經過軟件分析再以點雲成像，成為了觀眾在屏幕上可以用肉眼看得到的點雲花園。策展人林小雯形容，藝術家像是虛擬花園的園丁，作品亦反映了澳門植物的多樣性。你又能否分辨到作品上的花草樹木，取材自哪個公園？

而在炮竹廠內的「透明花園」，則巧妙地借用了炮竹廠獨特的自然和空間建築，透過屏幕，你將會發現依荒廢的工房而生的榕樹，顯露自然與人工融為一體之美。經過數週的展示，作品上甚至長出了藤蔓，你能發現屏幕上攀爬著的枝葉嗎？

《澳門點雲花園》展期至12月10日，期間推出一系列延伸活動，有意參加者建議透過以下連結登記參加。

The "Macao Pointcloud Garden" consists of two parts: the "Wind Garden" and the "Transparent Garden." When you enter the Former Iec Long Firecracker Factory from Chun Su Mei, you'll see the "Wind Garden" displayed on two large LED screens. Artist Clement Valla captured thousands of photos of various gardens and green spaces in Macao during field research. Through software analysis, these photos were transformed into pointcloud images, creating virtual gardens that can be viewed on the screens. Curator Lam Sio Man compares the artist to a virtual garden's gardener, and the artwork showcases the diverse plant life in Macao. Can you recognize the flowers, plants, and trees in the artwork and determine which park they are from?

Inside the Firecracker Factory, the "Transparent Garden" takes advantage of the factory's unique natural and architectural space. Through a transparent screen, you'll discover banyan trees growing around the abandoned workshops, demonstrating the fusion of nature and human-made elements. After a duration of six weeks on display, the artwork has surprisingly developed vines, adding an unexpected element. Can you locate the climbing branches and leaves that embellish the screen?

The exhibition of the "Macao Pointcloud Garden" will be open until December 10th and features a range of free public programs. To participate, please register through the provided link.

…∷《澳門點雲花園》延伸活動 ︙…∷ ∷節奏沙球親子工作坊︙…∷ ∷Macao Pointcloud Garden︙…∷ ∷Asalato Family Workshop

大自然給予人類的厚禮，總是可以帶給人無限驚喜。它既可以激發藝術家的創作靈感，也實在地為我們提供了藝術素材 ——例如源自西非的樂器節奏沙球Asalato，樂器原型就是鼻煙盒樹的果實，只要稍加心思，就成為了當地的傳統樂器與玩具。源自西非，不過今時今日在澳門都有得玩、甚至自己親手製作了！

在剛過去的星期日下午，節奏沙球導師Dave領著大小朋友，在微風吹拂的下午，於《澳門點雲花園》前一同動手製作個人專屬的獨一無二的沙球，更領會了玩沙球的基本手法與節奏，最後還與非洲鼓即興來場大合奏！🪘🪘

看著大家的笑容，相信大家都感受到藝術與自然共生，的確能產生令人開懷暢快的能量🔆

《澳門點雲花園》公共藝術展一直嘗試透過作品，在公共空間中創造一個氛圍，讓每個人都能從中繪出自己與作品、與自然、與生活的連繫，也讓人與人之間得以互相連結。展期至12月10日，每日免費開放。延伸活動尚有兩節，包括12月3日的「聲音冥想體驗坊」以及12月10日的「世界音樂體驗坊」，儘管目前名額已滿，都歡迎你登記候補，把握機會與我們一同探索！

Nature always brings surprises, inspiring artists and providing tangible artistic materials. For instance, the Asalato, a rhythmic instrument from West Africa, was originally made from the fruit of the snuffbox tree. It has now become a portable instrument and toy being practiced in different parts of the world. Nowadays, it can even be found in Macau!

Last Sunday afternoon, Asalato practitioner Dave guided both children and adults in creating their own unique Asalato at the breezy Macao Pointcloud Garden. Participants learned the basic techniques and rhythms and concluded with an improvised performance alongside African drums! 🪘🪘

Macau Pointcloud Garden creates an atmosphere in public space, connecting people with artwork, nature, and life. It aims to foster connections between individuals. Exhibition opens to the public for free daily until December 10. Two upcoming public programs include the "Sound Meditation Workshop" on December 3rd and the "World Music Workshop" on December 10th. Although slots are full, you can join the waiting list for a chance to explore with us!

Have you ever considered what activities we can engage in within the public spaces of the city?

As a continuation of the previous nature tour and family picture book workshop, the third installment of the "Macao Pointcloud Garden" public program brought together yoga teacher Eva Li and nearly 30 participants for a yoga session in front of the artwork and within the Former Iec Long Firecracker Factory.

During the session, participants were guided in practicing breathing exercises to enhance their sensibility and tune into the messages their bodies convey.

To create an immersive yoga experience, the organizer also arranged for a special performance by the handpan band Náv. As dusk settled and day transitioned into night, the music of Náv accompanied the yoga practice, intertwining the wisdom of yoga with the ethereal sounds of the handpan in a harmonious blend.

Don't miss the "Macao Pointcloud Garden" exhibition until December 10th, featuring workshops and experiential sessions. A few additional seats are now available for this Sunday (Nov 26)’s Asalato Family Workshop, if you are interested, please visit the link below to RSVP!
