Out of the Box

The Midlife Crisis of the Digital Revolution

metaphor

bitTOWER
Wu Juehui (CN)

bitTOWER is inspired by the uroboros and each element of the installation acts as a visual metaphor. The scaffold matrix creates a space with a limited mass, as though the epidermis of the excessively expanding city has been torn apart and exposed its internal organs. The cycle of lights act as moon and sun, with shadows of mottled steel pipes expanding the borders of the matrix. The interplay of the lights and projected digital images create a virtual world shifting swiftly between night and day. The spiral cases inside the matrix overlap, and just like the uroboros, beginning where it also ends. The immersive environment opens a wormhole to another dimension for the audience, with the synesthetic ceremony leading to a sense of reverie.
