Crashes Without Interval
installed @ Taipei Fine Arts Museum
2016 | installation | dimension variable
By adopting the photolithography process used in IC manufacture, found footage of airplane crashing and videos recorded from cellphone falling are recycled and fixed onto aluminum plates. After the events of falling and crashing, these moving images continue to circulate on the Internet; forever re-editing, recompressing and pixelating. They have become more than just representation of the events but the debris of audio-visual industry, or even like biofacts in the digital ecology. Through the technique of photolithography, the images are recycled onto their possible past/future bodies, the aluminum plates reproduced from crashed things. On one hand, the work tries to respond to the acceleration under global technocapitalism. On the other hand, it reacts to the materiality of these images and implies a temporary resting plane in the space of global production axis.
