"Landscape and Mass: 4. CRT and Concrete"

Yoichi Ochiai

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.

 

Physical media device will break. Nostalgia felt on a CRT is different from the pioneer of video art that was in the age of Nam Jung Pike. The mass property we see now in a cathode-ray tube is based on values ​​seen from the times of liquid crystal, LED and organic EL. Technology changes. The age of media art is aging with the weathering of its technology depending on the times. But what about digital data? Of course, there may be some algorithms that look more refined if the processing power goes up. But what can be seen from image data with insufficient resolution is nostalgia or aging?
