ADMISSIONS OF VISUAL TRANSFORMATION OF THE URBAN ENVIRONMENT OF THE CHINA BY MEANS OF ART INSTALLATIONS WITH MIRROR PROPERTIES OF SURFACES

Abstract

The article provides an analysis of the main methods of visual transformation of the urban environment of the People’s Republic of China based on the formation of the design of art installations with mirror-like surface properties. Visual illusions in the creation of an aesthetically expressive architectural and landscape environment of Chinese cities significantly enhance the artistic expressiveness of this area, contribute to the definition of its individual character and activate the development of communication processes. The special significance of the study is the systematization of the types of art installations with mirror surfaces, which allows us to reveal the main trends of their solution in the conditions of the constant economic and technological development of the cities of the PRC and point to the importance of the communicative function through the interaction of a person with a design object. In the course of summarizing the characteristics of art installations, the main tasks declared by the authors of design projects in the formation of public space by them are defined. A contextual approach in the development of these works of art allows designers to focus the audience’s attention on the main socio-cultural problems of Chinese cities and to reflect them through the identification of author’s concepts. Spectacular art installations and interaction through them with viewers on a sensory-emotional level helps speed up the process of perceiving the necessary information laid down by the authors of works of art. The value-content level of a person’s perception of information allows him to gain new experience at the subconscious level regarding the aesthetic value of an artistic work. In turn, the authors of art installations have the opportunity to reveal at the semantic, thematic and visual levels a whole series of problematic issues of today due to the demonstration of the latest materials, types of artistic object formation, the long-term time of their use and the broadcasting of economic, ecological and socio-cultural problems.
