鱼：今天的水如何？

Fish: What’s the Water Taste Today?

///

请回想一下：

今日的空气如何？

昨晚的夜空美吗？

你最近一次抬头仰望天空是什么时候？

你最近一次低头欣赏花草是什么时候？

你

如何意识到我们所处的世界的真实？

Please think about it:

What’s the air like today?

Was the night sky beautiful last night?

When was the last time you looked up at the sky?

When was the last time you looked down at a flower?

How do you

Noticed that the world we lived is real?

// A DAY 一天 //

我们的地球以4.167X10-3度/秒的平均角速度自转，自转一周耗时23小时56分，即约寻常一天时间。因为地球自转而有昼夜交替，从而有日升月落，晨昏交接，构成了我们日常生活的每一“天”。

Our earth rotates at an average angular rate of 4.167 x 10-3 degrees/ sec. A rotation takes 23 hours and 56 minutes, namely about an ordinary day. Because of the rotation of the earth, there is the alternation of day and night, so that there is the rise and fall of the sun, the transition between morning and evening, which constitutes “A day” in our daily life.

// A POOL OF WATER 一潭水 //

我们以“水”为媒介，来映射地球的自转——我们所处世界最基础的真实。

受地球自转而产生的地转偏向力的影响，加之物体自身的惯性，在北半球，物体运动时统一受到向右的地转偏向力，同理，南半球的物体运动统一受到向左的地转偏向力。由此，地心引力带来了漩涡的下降。

We use the “water” as a medium to map the earth’s rotation — the most fundamental fact of the world that we living in.

In the northern hemisphere, due to the influence of geostrophic force that caused by earth rotation and the inertia of object itself, every object is subject to the rightward geostrophic force when moving. Similarly, the object in the southern hemisphere is subject to the leftward geostrophic force when moving. As a result, the gravity causes the downward vortex.

-在自然的基础上，我们在技术方面具体又实现了什么？

大自然的涡流形式很多样，有漩涡，有风眼，有大黑斑，有龙卷风等等…

在技术层面上，我们仍然是模仿大自然，去利用人工的动力将水流引导成上升的涡流，达到我们设定的溢水位后，漩涡保持平衡和稳定。

– What have we achieved technically on the basis of nature?

Nature’s vortices are presented in many forms, from whirlpools to eye of wind, from great dark spots to tornadoes…

From the technical level, we are still mimicking the nature, using artificial power to direct the flow of water into an upwelling vortex and remain balanced and stable after reaching the overflow level we set.

一段时间之后，在时间控制器的作用下，漩涡的力量源泉从人工动力转化成地球自身的地心引力作用，漩涡实现了下降。

一天循环往复，漩涡的持续的旋动和升降就形成了。

-上帝造一半，人类造一半，是自然的艺术和科技的完美结合。

After a period of time, under the action of the time controller, the power source of the vortex changes from artificial power to the earth’s gravitation and then the vortex realizes the decline.

As the day goes on and on, the continuous swirl, rise and fall of the vortex can be formed.

– Half created by the god, and half created by man, it is the perfect combination of natural art and technology.

// A SCENCE 一幕 //

这是素水艺术品漩涡系列的第三个，也是最大的一个：直径约10米。

10米的宽度可以容纳26个人并肩行走，可以…

This is the third and largest work in the vortex series that created by Sushui Art: about 10 meters in diameter.

The 10 meter width can hold 26 people walking side by side, and can…

请让我们以自然和人类合力 的水漩涡来为你展现一场物转星移的物语吧！

– 一道道螺旋的波纹仿若夜空中一圈圈的星轨，斗转星移。

– 漩涡中心深处的灯光仿佛拥有地心引力般的力量吸引着人前往。

– 漩涡与天文台相呼应，一望宇宙，一瞰大地。

Let us present you with a tale of rotation of things and moving of stars by the water vortex created by the nature and human technology.

– spiraling ripples just like the orbits of stars in the night sky.

– The lights in the center of the vortex seem to have a gravitational pull to attract people towards them.

– The vortex works in concert with the observatory, one looking up at the universe, and the other looking down on the earth.
