作为2014年CCA双年展的一部分，韩裔多媒体概念艺术家金守子为位于纽约伊萨卡市的康奈尔大学艺术中心设计了一个高46英尺、底部直径4.5英尺的针状钢结构。建筑师Jaeho Chong 和康奈尔大学Wiesner纳米材料实验室合作诠释了这样一句话——“针女：银河是一个记忆，地球是一个纪念品。”金守子参考了纳米的原理以及法国哲学家Henri Bergson关于记忆的观点（这与抽象认识有关）。他从宇宙的规模对针尖与距离和记忆之间的抽象关系进行了研究。

为了在亭子内外营造一种隐秘的氛围，亭子的网状部分的材料全是丙烯塑料板，这样就能形成亭子水晶般透明的外形。每一块丙烯塑料板都用彩虹色的纳米聚合物进行了处理，从而将这个圆柱结构建造成了一个颜色不断变化的辐射谱。考虑到自然光的最大反射，康奈尔大学的纳米工程师和化学家Ulrich Wiesner合作对块状聚合物进行了分子处理。彩虹色的材料就像自然界中蝴蝶的翅膀或者甲壳虫的壳的颜色。内部的平面镜选择式地将其规模扩大了一倍，整个亭子就像从地上延伸到天空中。

As part of the 2014 CCA biennial, korean-born conceptual multimedia artist, kimsooja has created a 46 foot high, 4.5 foot diameter needle-shaped steel structure, piercing the landscape at cornell university’s arts quad in Ithaca, New York. ‘A needle woman: galaxy was a memory, earth is a souvenir’ has been made in close collaboration with architect Jaeho Chong and the Wiesner nanomaterials lab at the university.Drawing reference from the perspectival direction of nanotechnology and French philosopher Henri Bergson’s thoughts on memory — as related to metaphysical perception — Kimsooja has investigated the metaphorical relationship of needlepoint to notions of distance and memory threading across a cosmic scale.

Made for an intimate exterior and interior experience, the structure’s grid-like spine is fleshed out with acrylic panels to form a crystalline, transparent pavilion. Each of the sheets have been individually treated with an iridescent nanopolymer, transforming the sleek structure into a radiant spectrum of ever-changing color. The molecularly engineered ‘block copolymer’ — created in collaboration with Cornell nanomaterial engineer and chemical scientist Ulrich Wiesner — considers the refractive qualities of natural light and maximizes its potential. The iridescent material shares similar attributes to those occurring in nature, on the wings of butterflies or shell of beetles. A mirrored interior floor optically doubles its scale, extending simultaneously from earth to sky.
