Landscape and Mass: 1. Withered Tree Wrapped in Light
The reason I continue the expressions of media art lies in certain abstractions that repeat the erasure of the artist itself and the generation of the content without context. Separating from language and visual expressions, it can integrate ourselves with nature in the activities to isolate content from media towards the beauty. From the standpoint of observing nature, it can be a meta function to regain functional entities that can recognize this world with the touch and the function enables viewers to experience the scenery. It seemed to be beyond the void around the contextual puzzle game created by visual design.
In composing media art, the moments that pass by as one of scenery are transformed into phenomena with embodiment and materiality, and the exhibition itself is also transformed into a scenery. I like to feel like these processes while creating the moments. Sharpen the digital sensitivity in the analog body and physical phenomena. We can realize the analog spirit here only when we interact with the resolution of time and space through a process of framing the phenomena passing by in world recognition through digital perspective.
Here I framing the world by media devices with a poetic process on the optical breadboard and express it with a series of installations.
I feel mass when I see withered trees. In a world without masses, trees that do not live or die, after their lives, dry, they become permanently dead trees. It seems as though the animal is wearing light. In love with its backlight standing on the window side.
