—— —— Discourse on Video Sandbox III: Landscape, memory and time —— ——
In the era of acceleration, our senses are constantly receiving various information and stimuli. We seek speed in all aspects of life, but rarely try to slow down and pay attention to the things around us. Events happen quickly and are quickly forgotten. What truly leaves a mark in our consciousness?
This work presents a virtual coastal scene through real-time generated soundscapes and generative visuals, exploring the passage of time and fading memories. It simulates the images of waves and sun through data, highlighting the fleeting nature of information in the digital age. Additionally, it re-synthesizes and arranges sound data from the internet to create a digital soundscape of the coast. The overall atmosphere of the work encourages the audience to slow down and refocus on the present sensory experience, prompting reflection on life and the overlooked beauty of fleeting moments.

YU-CHIN CHEN
Yu-Chin Chen was born in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. She draws inspiration from senses of harmony/disharmony and association/disassociation between the self and the world. Through her interest in and practice of bodily perception and integration of space into the creative process, she further draws attention to how the self experiences and perceive time and space, and how they shape our sense of physical presence and embodiment, or vice versa.
