The emphasis on the relationship with the spectator is reflected in the design of the exhibition space itself. Painting the room blue instead of the customary black, Wang wants neither the traditional “white box,” where art works hang on spotless, white walls, or the “black box” favored by new media artists, which eliminates unwanted interruptions such as noises and forces visitors to concentrate on only one or two senses.
“Rather than enclosed in a pitch-black room, visitors can have a sense of the space they are in … [They] can form a relationship with the space and create meanings,” Wang said.
