ABSTRACT
Awaiting for light in the darkness(covid-19) is similar to searching for hope(normal life). The artwork is combined with the physical space, projection visual, laser light, smoke, represent as a "Cyber Sea". Present the emotions of people who looking for connection through real time computer animation (projection and laser light) in space. The way to interact with the work can be from the connection of people's mobile phone, or the audience who walks into the artwork. • Realtime: If the artwork senses people or receives a connection from the Internet, then the laser light will oscillate and reverberate in real time. Indicates that the signal was received or responded. Through images of projection visual presents the concept of a huge network with moving images such as coordinates, particles, gravity, and geometry. • Real Data: Visualize the latest Covid-19 diagnosis data in various countries every day and present them in the projection screen, symbolize the information impact of continuous updating and accumulation of information. • Connect: Each mobile devices connected to the work through the Internet, can project geometric dynamic images, include the IP data that symbolizes the uniqueness. • Interactive Instruction: (1) When audience walks into the artwork, there will be an irregular dynamic aperture around the audience, just like the received a signal. (2) The viewers can scan the QR Code on the work description with their mobile devices, and log in the interactive system. Follow the instruction and walk into the work to get the trajectory. Viewers can control the movement of various light points in the space thought internet signal transmission. © 2021 Owner/Author.
ABSTRACT
Objectives: Citizens who perceive SARS-CoV-2 as a threat may experience heightened anxiety of the severe illness caused by COVID-19. This study investigated the trends in anxiety and performance of preventive measures among Taiwanese citizens during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: This study employed an anonymous online survey to investigate anxiety and preventive behavior practice in adults during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic. The 6-item state version of the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI-6) was used to measure symptoms of anxiety. The preventive measures consisted of 12 items divided into three categories: Personal protection, cough etiquette, and social distance and voluntary quarantine. The three time periods studied were the lockdown in Wuhan, China (from January 23 to February 7), the week when enhanced border protections and in-person mask purchase systems were introduced and the first citizen tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 without symptoms (from February 8 to February 16), and the 10 days following the first death from COVID-19 in Taiwan (from February 27 to March 9). The Cochran-Armitage trend test and the Jonckheere trend test were used to analyze changes in the degree of anxiety and the adoption of preventive measures in the early stages of the epidemic. An analysis of covariance was performed to examine the relationship between changes in anxiety and engagement in preventive behaviors after control for sex, age, education, and income. Results: The percentages of the participants with moderate to high levels of anxiety during the three time periods were 45%, 50%, and 55%, respectively. The percentages of those who practiced preventive measures often or always during the three time periods were 46%, 58%, and 66%, respectively. Significant increases were found both in levels of anxiety and in performance of preventive measures over the three time periods, but no differences across sex, age, education, or income groups were found. Changes in anxiety and performance of preventive behaviors were significantly associated during the three periods. Conclusions: The results revealed that as the pandemic spread, citizens' anxiety, and performance of preventive measures increased significantly for each sex, age, education level, and income group. © 2021 Chinese Public Health Association of Taiwan.
