I intend to re-establish the past in a “safer field” with the artworks I produce by unearthing memories and replacing them with those worth remembering.
The earth fills up and empties, like a theatre stage. And within this non-stagnant digital age, we can understand and shape them using our imagination.
My work draws from insights from hybrid disciplines, technological movements, and artificial intelligence methods to recreate the past in today.
Developments in fields such as art, science, and technology have enabled us to understand even the most ancient and mythological eras. In reproducing and modifying past stories, these disciplines have allowed us to go to the depths of memory, where the origins of humanity and core information are stored. These advancements have also animated the memories that the world has witnessed more vividly, thus, shining a light on our future.
Disciplines have removed boundaries by coming together and forming a “Mental Pangea.” We can create “heterotopic visuals” with old techniques and through digital sculptures, codes, panoramic pictures, digital designs, robotics, 3D design technology, high-resolution designs, digital media, and augmented reality.
