Experiential immersive sculpture work | 10th December 2019

Rumours stand for the loud message, however, I through such a calming and epic form to create contradictions.

 

This is just the cut-scenes/trailer for the project, the project actually runs for two hours, until the sand finishes trickling. The video has the music 51°03​.​773' by Clem leek plays in the background, the music slowly depicts the feeling of sadness as hearing rumours, and the glitchy sound really brings the piece together.

 

“YOU CAN HEAR RUMORS. BUT YOU CAN'T KNOW THEM.” JAY ASHER (2016)

 

Using sand and mesh to express multiple meanings. Firstly, sand is considered as rumours, mesh is people who spread rumours. Furthermore, I added extra elements like coffee scrubs, oats and stones in with the sand as a video playing in the background through the holes, which gives a feeling of the message gets contaminated as it gets widely spread, while the film indicates media. On the other hand, the structure of mesh was made to be intricate and spontaneous as the revelation of the complex nature in human, which the holes are also suggesting humanity is unsubstantial.

谣言被看作响亮的信息，而我通过这种静谧而沉着的形式去刻意制造矛盾。 这只是作品预告片，实际上了会展示连续两个小时，直到视频中的沙子滴完为止。现实视频中的是播放了克莱姆·里克（Clem leek）的音乐51°03..773'，慢慢地描绘出听见谣言时的悲伤感，而刺耳的声音把这个作品完整化。 用沙子和网眼表达多种含义。 首先，沙子比作谣言，网眼就是散布谣言的人。此外，我还添加了咖啡磨砂，燕麦和石头等其他颗粒，并在沙子中通过孔在背景中播放视频，意味着信息通过广泛传播被不断污染，同时运用投影、影片的形式表明了媒体占据度。另一方面，随着人类复杂性的揭示，网眼的结构变得复杂而自发，这些孔也暗示着人性是虚空的。
