How do we connect with each other? And how do we exist within the connections?

The discovery of quantum mechanics has changed man’s understanding of the world and has sparked ongoing debates even till this day. People understand that through observation or not, our surrounding environment is not merely composed of material matters, but also of energy. The state of entanglement between particles goes beyond the limit of distance, which means even an action from the far end is able to create a huge impact. All particles interconnect to form a greater whole.

The 2020 Kuandu Light Art Festival ‘Quantum Entanglement’ begins from quantum science, presenting the artists’ state of perception and creative production through scientific understanding. Links and conversions between science, digital and art allow us to travel across real time and space and to another end.

In computer science, the method of ‘reduction’, in which one algorithm calls for another algorithm to convert between different systems before achieving progress, is often used to solve many problems. In the exhibition, reduction is used as an aesthetic method of technological art to display the connection and transformation between systems and works. In addition to developing individual creations, artists interconnect within the process, presenting their point-to-point network relationships and completing the exhibition’s overall aesthetic manifestation.

Beaming from the interface, images produced via arithmetic send us to another dimension. The simulative feature of the digital allows us to perceive reality through viewing or bodily experience, creating an observation system in which consciousness can freely flow, and ultimately resulting in the state of entanglement with reality.

If we see museum as a virtual system which has construct an art world with computing machines, we would recognize the following: Shu-Yu Lin's outdoor piece messages, Yet to Lose transitioning from reality; Chao-Ming Lu and Chen-Wei Weng’s Sound Medium performing a visual translation of energy and information at the entrance of the world/museum and disrupting the material activity of the body; I-Yeh Wu's Colors enabling a new light of an informational dimension with internet image rendering’s search, analysis and reconstruction tool; Huei-Ming Chang and Chi-Yu Liao’s 1.5 Billion Light-years Away transmitting fictitious landscapes from distant sources; Shih-Fu Yu's Perfect Form exploring the gestalt achieved through consciousness and calculation; and lastly, Shao-Gang Wang's Virtual Messiah serving as the spiritual sustenance of illusion and deconstruction. The works interact and resonate with each other, with each of their ports connecting to one another. In this way, we can no longer see them as separate existences, but as an entanglement which has led itself to become a system.

Under the light, we observe and perceive, among sciences, the digital, and the arts, through reality, virtuality, and imagining images. When connected, everything seems to be reflected by the mirror twice; In these overlayering images in development, we are seeing ever more clearly. We gain experience, establish further connections, and understand more.

The 2020 Kuandu Light Art Festival ‘Quantum Entanglement’ attempts to present the state of the world as well as our interconneting presence using the arithmetic method for artistic manifestation so that the observation system is present — In order to reflect the reality we are immersed in, we are placed closer and closer to the heart of a real dessert.

Title: Colors
text, color, light, 2020

The artist created texts which used different colors in different parts of the artwork and areas to translate into “colors” through the network data. Then “colors” are presented in the exhibition in the form of “lights.” The texts come from “text= ‘Hello World’.” The artist created several viewings of “text= ‘Hello World’” from the different viewing angles in the exhibition. The texts were translated into colors through Google Images API to collect the images searched by the texts on the Internet. It adopted the Self-Organizing Maps (SOM) method to use these images data to conduct sampling/analysis/recombination based on colors, and then generated the texts with colors. The colors are presented in accordance with exhibition conditions. It used glass, the main building materials of the Kuandu Museum of Fine Arts, as the medium to present colors. Through the exhibition lights and the projection lights, it can be flexibly matched with other artworks and the exhibition space. At the same time, it provides immersive experience while viewing the artwork and reading the texts.

Title: Sound Medium
steel wire, LED lights, sensors, woods, iron, 2020

The conversion and transformation of delivering messages are invisible traces in life. The “daily interpersonal relationship” that connects people with one another, which is activated at any time during the day and night. In this installation, we try to convert an unseen signal scene into a visible landscape, transforming the invisible sounds to the tangible lights and then to the kinetic energy to separate the spaces. The artwork has two expressions. One is used as a part of space planning to guide the visitors to the directions of exhibition, and the other is to reproduce the close invisible relationship between two points by using sounds and lights instead of the body to visit throughout the museum.

作品名稱:虛擬彌賽雅
自動化演奏鋼琴、機械手臂懸偶、扭蛋機、動態影像、糖果, 2020

天上要有光體、可分晝夜,做記號、定節令、日子、年歲,並要發光在天空,普照在地上,事就這樣成了(創世紀1:14-1:15)

《虛擬彌賽雅》是一個系統化的影像演繹裝置,透過自動化演奏鋼琴、動力布偶、影像、玩具扭蛋機等形式,試圖重新轉譯與解構關於:在人類之外,或是人類有限生命中,對於超越時空間等生命形式的提問。內容中從肉身、慾望、控制、疾病、信仰、時空間等角度去討論,何謂造物?或為何造物?啟示帶給人類的是救贖還是另一個龐大慾望的開始?

Title: messages, Yet to Lose
LED lights, wood, electronic components, 2020

Traces flowing within a space is like various forms of messages carried by the surface of black hole. If the material world argued in quantum physics is the hologram of the mental world, then the transitional square or Non-place entering the space within the Kuandu Museum of Fine Arts, library and the research building will then be something to entangle. Was it the mirror universe incessantly exchanging messages with the material world we are in? Or was it the origin of messages from the hologram of consciousness coming from the mental world of the artist? The work will see the average space of the square as light messages projected from the white hole. Message, Yet to Lose attempts to present conversation regarding material and energy with its surrounding, and further provides extended alternative view on reality and illusion to its audiences.

Title: Perfect Form
metal, plastic, mechanical components, electronic control components (composite medium), 2020

In the 20th century, physicists conducted the “double-slit experiment with electrons.” This experiment caused a great sensation in the scientific community. In order to explain the experimental results, people had to re-examine the elements that have been neglected in scientific research for thousands of years. ‘Consciousness,” therefore, can be inferred that it does affect objective facts, and this relationship seems to explain the inertia of “consciousness” and the “material world.” Based on current models such as mathematics (golden ratio), aesthetics, color psychology, etc., the artwork corresponds to the mutual mechanism of “form” and “consciousness,” trying to produce “form” through “theory” and discussing the feasibility of “perfect form.”

Title: 1.5 Billion Light-years Away
ready-made objects, plastic sheets, plastic tubes, self-made inflation and deflation devices, LED lights, 2020

Astronomers received a Fast Radio Burst from 1.5 billion light-years away, which is believed to be a signal from aliens. Has the unknown information ever been received and read during the endless journey and passing place? In contrast to the universe, the scale of human life is extremely short, and the knowledge and understanding outside the sky are relatively tiny, as if in a huge darkness, following the dim lights to outline the distant landscape, the starting point of the imaginary signal which is from the far distance humans can't reach.
