Interstellar, 2024

Installation, Resin and Metal tube

80x60x40cm (one pair)

Interstellar was created during the pandemic. I built a virtual model using algorithms and then used 3D printing technology to try to bring my dreams back into the audience's vision. During the pandemic, human society once again entered a collective virtual mode (collective consciousness mode), and my creative mode also shifted from the traditional studio to just "one computer" and "one brain". As society as a whole entered a large-scale dormant period, I began to explore the feasibility of combining data art with dreams. In the long observation of my own dreams, I began to try to outline them. I used many related words, such as "fear", "anxiety", "nothingness", "consciousness", "future", and "dream", in this data model. At the same time, I used a large area of black to strengthen the visual distinction between "tangible" and "intangible" as people observe dreams.

When Metaphrica Studio offered me the opportunity to exhibit, I began to rethink this work. I was not satisfied with the concept of "object" that was built solely from data at that time. I re-cut the work in reality, using the most traditional installation material, metal pipes, to cut and reconstruct the work. This increases the stability and certainty of the work's structure and reinforces the integration and mutual exclusivity between dreams created by data and those created by humans.
