Olafur Eliasson born in 1967, is a danish-icelandic artist. He became famous for sculptures and large art installations. In Eliasson's view, audiences should be given the right to create works together in exhibitions, to be creators rather than consumers. Eliasson argues that audiences are smart. Especially for young people, it is very important for them to realize that they can be artistic producers. So, when the young man walked into the hall, he would think that "I'm good enough, the exhibition without trying to education I, to guide me", "the artist 's objects operate as staged deconstructions of seeing and knowing" (Bedford, 2008, pp. 215).
By reading Olafur Eliasson books and combined with Steve Reich Drumming - Portland Percussion Group, I finished my practice work, I choose to use different lines to express melody, again through the ups and downs of the node of the melody to express drums, "Physics has found no straight lines - has found only waves - physics has found no solids only high - frequency event fields" (Eliasson, 2009, pp. 19). I tried many lines to express this melody, among which I think the most suitable one is the circle of small dots, which is most suitable for expressing the drum. The reason why I chose circular painting is that I wanted to show the feeling of sound wave diffusion.
In Olafur Eliasson's artistic career, his works often take wind, light, wave, water, ice, fog, gas and other natural phenomena as artistic materials, and combine them with structural science, geometry and aesthetics to explore the infinite possibilities of natural things, and accurately depict the changes of light and shadow and the movement of time and space in his mind. In my final work, I chose to melt the expression form of one of his works, "Rainbow Assembly". I chose colored circles to express the rhythmic vibration of percussion music in the audio I recorded, and colored drops of water spread on paper to express the feeling that orchestral music vibrates to people's hearts through air. The whole picture presents a feeling like sound waves spreading out, spreading water droplets through vibration, and finally merging together is a painting with a messy beauty, just like the audio shows that different instruments combine to form a beautiful symphony.
