Data actually flows around us, trying to pick up the signal and put it into a scene. In the digital age, huge amounts of data become visual and readable information through analysis and organization, calculation and creation of orders from a specific perspective, just like the savior Neo in “The Matrix”, everything is information presented like a stream. While we are not saviors, artists can also use algorithms to select, pitch their opinions, use information as fuel to drive work, visualize data, or use light or sound to transform into scenes.
“2023 Taiwan International Light and Shadow Art Festival” takes “Data Scenery” as a proposition, discusses how data becomes the basis behind the support and guidance of artworks in the development of contemporary technology and art, and brings flow and diversity to the performance of the sex artwork . Nine domestic and foreign artist groups from Taiwan, the United States, Japan, Ukraine/Spain are expected to be invited to participate in the exhibition, including six Taiwanese artist groups including Wang Liansheng, Cai Yiting, Zhang Xinyu, Cai Ning, 404N .F and Erjin, as well as Chuck Lieberman (Zachary Lieberman, USA), Kasahara ShunichiKanda RyuHigara (Japan), Iury LECH (Ukraine/Spain)Wu Bingsheng (Taiwan) and three other groups of foreign artists. Among them, Chuck Lieberman’s “Reflection Studies” (Reflection Studies), Kasahara Shunichi, Kanda Ryu and Higa’s “Fragment Shadow” (Fragment Shadow) and Wang Liansheng’s “Non-Euclidean Geometry Extension Postulate” are all calculation data of the public intervention and interact with the works to produce the best expression of the artistic content; Zhang Xinyu’s “Noise of Trees” and Cai Ning’s “Whispering” use sensors to detect biological information of plants or spectators, and convert sensory information into visual light and shadow, and Produce the transmission wave of sound and light; Cai Yiting’s “Planting Light・Flower” and 404N.F’s “Green Terrace” use data to reflect the volume of sculptures, creating light volumes and scenery everywhere, with breathing rhythms, as if using data Creatures born for nourishment; Erjin’s “Frontier One” uses the data information of websites with huge Internet traffic as its material, and uses the 5G network to acquire real-time data to describe a science fiction space station where reality and virtuality intersect, and the audience uses mobile devices to participate in the representation of the scenario; Yuri Leh and Wu Bingsheng’s “Time Quantum of Light” will bring Spain-Taiwan remote co-performance, and use 5G low-latency real-time communication to build multi-channel immersive audio-visual productions. The nine creations will be placed in the outdoor park of the National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts and the indoor U-108 SPACE, reflecting each other and building a beautiful data scene.
