High-speed Vision Persistence :Puzzles of time and simulation of space's Cover

Temporarily unlisted

Ever since the Industrial Revolution, we have marched into a more modern world, in which more and more knowledge are obtained by means of images and pictures. Though this kind of information has taken up our life and therefore greatly influenced different facets of our modern life, such as culture, entertainment, consumption and people’s viewpoints, it has also made us confused with space and time and thus weakened us in explanation of such information. I therefore propose the idea of “high-speed vision persistence” in my work, hoping to capture high speed images through digital media and related gadgets. This is aimed to help viewers reexamine the existence of images and further help to decipher more meaningful signals and symbols.

Crucial to dynamic images, “time” and “space” have also been most artists’ great concerns as well. With the assistance of digital media, the Internet and Interactive Technology, Technology Art is now able to express such phenomena as time and space more directly and solidly in modern arts. Through the above media, static photos that seem to be taken at the same time but actually not are displayed by compressing, duplicating, compiling and recurring. The fluctuating images that accompany with them undoubtedly expend their time dimension, thus making up of “puzzles of time.” Besides, those full-scaled images projected on the wall, along with the movements of the viewers photographed by a Web Cam, add on some interaction, which creates not only vivid imagination but a brand new kind of reality, virtual reality.

The concept of time and space are fully explained through the “installment of interactively digital images”, which intrigues viewers’ intuition towards images, overthrows their previous visual experiences, and leads the viewers to fire up their own memory mechanism in the brain. Through such arrangement, spatial expansion is continuously displayed and gradually reaches its ultimate reality, and even beyond.
