HUHUHUH
Art is the incubator of its history, and the creation of my work "HUHUHUH" is one of the incubators, whether if its successful or not.
I study the "symbolic" art, it has a very strong relationship with the large-scale production of materials of society. When we step into the information society era, the appearance of symbolic formal language is because it conforms to the characteristics of the times of modern society.
This is an original, non-replicable, and symbolic artistic expression. Artists' works and designs can be copied and imitated, and modern printing and online information can spread these copied images to the infinite means, which is a cognitive innovation of human beings and a "visual massacre" of human society.
In fact, the original purpose of this work is a question: art and technology, who is the law?
I remember the French writer Fu Loubai said something similar: "Art is becoming more and more technological, science and technology is becoming more and more artistic, the two are separated in the mountains, one day will be reunited at the top of the mountain." "
It is now the era of post-technological art, so the question is whether the technology products are over-involved in the arts. In my work, the mobile phone reminds the red dot, has become the main content of art. I want to explore the possibilities between "functionality" (technology products), "conceptual" (artistic works), including human feedback, vision, hearing, touch, and information recognition.
HUHUHI retains vision and hearing because these two senses, and the smartphone, make up most of our lives. People's lives are constantly being "red-doted" and people are constantly reminded of "SEE IT SAY IT SORTED" at London Underground stations as if everything were so natural. However, if a technology product is to become an art product, it must take into account the transformation of "field" and "space".
IMMUREMENT
Crypt Gallery London
After printing out virtual images that existed on the cyber world and copied them into a real-life human world, I posted red dots on the usual placards of the real world, such as "Fire Exit" and "Slipper", to restore the "red dot" experience we received on our phones. What's more, these works of art are eventually preserved in the form of mobile phone photos, so the process of my work is like a reincarnation: from the virtual world of the phone, back to the virtual world of the mobile phone.
In addition, at the entrance to The Crypt Gallery, I've also placed a London underground station with a sign-calling sound device, a loop of mobile phones alerting ringtones, and a loop of London Underground radio, as well as the sound of a dog barking. This is a transition from the mobile world to the Gallery and the ordinary public domain.
As a member of the Installation team, we made detail arrangements before Transportation, who needed to bring a toolbox, who needed to keep the keys to Gallery, and arrived at Crypt Gallery in advance of Transportation to open the door. I offered to bring the toolbox I bought at Ikea, and my scale, in order to be used during the exhibition. It includes a puncher, drilling rig, screwdriver, nail, hammer, bar and so on.
But obviously, this is a more than expected to harvest the attempt, in other words, a lot of unexpected things always happen, such as someone is not satisfied with the location of their exhibition, someone needs to connect the wire, the wire is connected and found to be always not working properly... And so on, these are our team at a very good solution. I remember helping MIKI do her Install, we could only roughly measure the distance from the door to the corner, the corner to the ceiling socket, and at one point worried that the wires weren't enough, but thank God this number didn't make us install team, just enough. With the electricity, we started to do the last work of the exhibition, such as the Tibetan line, which is a problem. The problem of not being able to hide lines in an art gallery is as if you've finished painting a fine makeup without spraying makeup spray or hair mess,———— always feels a bit wrong. Where should a work that needs power to be placed? How to set up the wire, with hidden wire tape or with hidden wire board, after the exhibition is particularly important, especially in a site itself is not many underground exhibition halls. But, in general, my own work, and all the students' works have been successfully completed, I learned a lot in this Emvand experience, especially with multi-party coordination, and anticipate the program in advance, do a good job PLAN B and so on.
