IN-BETWEEN MIND AND WORLD


CATEGORY: 3D Animation

This is an on-going project exploring the relationship between subjectivity and objectivity. Taking my living surroundings as an example, I discovered a continuous dialogue happening between the inside and the outside. The body acts as a mediator to transmit emotions, cognitive processes, and somatic states to the space that acts as a container to carry subjectivities and merge with them. Symbols are constricted within the processing of spatial configuration, including the shift of object arrangement, the manipulation surface, and the flow of things). These symbolistic messages are in turn sent back to the inhabitance with corresponding emotional feedback, which continues to shape certain subjective responses. Space now becomes an anthropomorphic presence with a spirit that listens and responds to its inhabitants.
         I constructed a virtual space by combining photogrammetry of my living surroundings with sound composition. It is an ambiguous area that projects the dialogue happening between emotions and objects.
