Particle Post

Receiving cosmic muons through a scintillator detector, the postbox subtly emits sound and light as a direct consequence of every particle it detects. It is through this process that the implied aesthetics of the unperceivable are explored, as are the means by which it could be indirectly appreciated in different ways through the bodies and minds of humans.

bitTOWER

Wu Juehui (CN)

bitTOWER is inspired by the ouroboros, one in which every element of the installation acts serves as a visual metaphor for something. The scaffold matrix creates a space with a limited mass, as though the epidermis of the excessively expanding city had been torn apart, exposing its internal organs. The cycle of lights acts as a moon and sun, with shadows of mottled steel pipes expanding the borders of the matrix. The interplay of lights and projected digital images creates a virtual world that’s swiftly shifting between night and day. The spiral cases inside the matrix overlap and, just like the ˟ouroboros˟, begins where it also ends. The immersive environment opens a wormhole into another dimension for the audience, with the synesthetic ceremony leading to a sense of reverie.
