Participating Works


《Signal Processing》

CD-ROM is an analogous remnant in the digital age as well as a dead media of the past. This work recreates and readjusts this material, using the flow and transmission between electronic circuits to discuss the new definition of “material culture.” When discussing the re-engineering and preservation of Taoyuan’s old urban area and rural communities from modern construction, how is the issue related to the fragmented memory? How can the issue create repercussions and finally be seen? This work makes use of data as a medium to understand external media or the needs of the internet community. Through the extensive use of data as well as its pervasiveness as the dynamic drive in devices found in all aspects of life, the work aims to recount the cessation of memories in the new and old cities in the form of parasitic data. Data propels the emergence of culture, allowing itself to ​permeate through these micro-communities. With encoding and digitization, art represents the co-existence of old and new as well as the development of the city and the rural area, converting the virtual into the real and reshaping their relation.
