Context
Untitled 1 Series
The process of the work starts with converting a selected piece of literature (text) to codes of “0” and “1”s, then a software 3ds Max transfers the converted code to a three dimensional model.
The material, color, and structure of the three dimensional model are chosen based on the code from the original literature, it’s unique sequence of the “0” and “1”s. therefore this model is a direct and objective translation of the literature, from words into forms without individual subjectivity.
When the viewer encounter the sculpture work, the given process when we are to “read” an artwork will take place, based on the presented information: the material, size, and style. Countless personal experiences, references and subjectivity is then cast onto the work, the viewer will further decipher the work with his/her own pre-exsiting meaning of the literature. With all that, making up a contradictory, but yet to the viewer, a conceivable reasoning for the work, this reasoning is something created through the thought process in their brain, and can be consider as a new knowledge (thought).
Text is Impression. (This series is similar to the dictionary series but begins with me converting pieces of literature or longer phrases into binary code. The material, colour and structure of the 3D model, and therefore the created sculptures and paintings, are also determined by the original writing. As the viewer ‘reads’ the artwork, they begin a process of referencing. They will reference the title, the text, the material, the structure, the colour, their personal experience, and etcetera to come up with their impression of the work.)
