春分 |Equinox

“Everything flows, nothing stands still.” —Heraclitus


Mapping is not just a mere simulation; it is the transcendence and transformation of reality.

In Asian culture, the equinox symbolizes rebirth and renewal, akin to the significance of Easter in the West. For me, this festival holds special meaning as it is an integral part of my rural upbringing and a vessel for my childhood memories and emotions.

Throughout my artistic journey, I have been exploring invisible pathways and overarching systems. From my audiovisual work “Dynamized Center” a decade ago to last year’s “Automatic Messages,” each piece delves deeply into the essence of generative systems. I firmly believe that the heart of generative art lies not only in the visual output but in the comprehensive systems driving these outputs.

In “Equinox,” this concept is expanded further. I designed several interacting systems whose interplay results in unpredictable outcomes, embodying the beauty of seasonal transitions and natural cycles while capturing subtle emotions that are easily overlooked in our fast-paced world. The colors and forms, blended through iterative processes within the system, invite the audience to find personal resonance within countless possibilities.

“Equinox” is not just an imitation of reality but a reinterpretation and creation of it. Through this process, I reshape the audience’s perception of natural phenomena and challenge their understanding of “reality” itself, exploring the intertwining of time and memory.
