首尔艺术工作室Kimchi And Chips的作品因用无形的物质操纵空间而闻名。大气雕塑便利用投射的光、线或像素来完成。该工作室最新的装置HALO（光晕）安装在伦敦萨默塞特宫（Somerset），这是其“空气中的绘画”系列作品的延续部分。自然光作为物质和非物质之间的媒介来刻画出作品的形式。
Seoul based art studio Kimchi And Chips are known for manipulating space with intangible matter. Atmospheric sculptures are created using projected light, lines or pixels. The studio presents their latest installation HALO at the somerset house in London as a continuation of their ongoing series, ‘drawing in the air.’ Natural sunlight is used as a medium to sculpt form which exists between material and immaterial.
Kimchi And Chips工作室由Mimi Son 和Elliot Woods而创立，设计师用100多个电动镜子反射太阳光线。 这些镜子分别排列在两个4米高的塔和一个15米长的轨道上，光线在一天中随着太阳而移动。有了这些镜子，自然光就可以被雕刻成光晕的形式，漂浮在空气中，薄雾中的细水柱更是使其变得清晰可见。不同于人造光，这是 Kimchi And Chips 工作室第一次在自然环境下完成作品。其光晕的可见性完全依赖于太阳的强度，所以雕塑处于恒定的流动状态。
Founded by Mimi Son and Elliot Woods, Kimchi And Chips redirects the sun’s rays with over 100 motorized mirrors. These mirrors, arrayed across two 4 meter high towers and one 15 meter long track, move in line with the sun throughout the day. With these mirrors, natural sunlight is sculpted to take the form of a halo, floating in mid-air and made visible by fine water jets in a cloud of mist. This is the first time that Kimchi And Chips work with entirely natural, rather than artificial light. Because the visibility of the ethereal halo is entirely dependent on the strength of the sun, the sculpture is in a constant state of flux.
庭院旁边是一间开放的工作室，装置背后的概念、技术，以及各种原型和草图都在这里展示。Kimchi And Chips 工作室与伦敦科学研究部就未知世界合作建立了数学模型，并对每一面镜子进行虚拟仿真。为了实现一个清晰光晕，每个镜子都被设置了一组参数，适用于其独特的位置、旋转角度、偏移和多项式校正参数。工作室已经记录了光晕装置的制造过程。
Beside the courtyard is an open studio where the concepts and technology behind the installation are on display. Various prototypes and sketches are on display as well. Kimchi And Chips collaborated with the scientific research division of London based improbable worlds limited to develop a mathematical model and virtual simulation of each mirror. In order to achieve a clear halo, each mirror was given a set of parameters which accomodate for its unique position, rotation, axis offsets and polynomial correction parameters. The studio had documented the making of HALO.
