is a cross-media project initiated in 2018. With neural-network generated images of eyes as its symbolic core, claims itself to be a mythological computing device, navigating through the endless matrix of imaginations, emotions and history, in searching for a point-of-view of non-existence, in our life experiences between information and body, geopolitics and religions, technology and nature. Inheriting from the concepts and tech-stacks developed in the virtual-immersive-theater work , and online/offline audiovisual performance , The aims to continue this pursue, develop it's theoretical basis, by implanting a set of fictional/non-fictional researching methods, and expand its format a site-specific ritual experience/theater between physical and virtual space. Roots in personal experiences of the complex religions/politics scenario in East Asia, suggests a floating perspective, to reinvestigate the mythological nature of our technoscience society, optionally the evolutionary affinity between traditional religions and our posthuman future.

Ying Chiun Lee

This piece of work portrays my experience of living through the pandemic as a foreigner in the US. The video consists of two scenes; The first scene is a view through the bottom of the glass tank. Catching the moment of molten glass dropped into the water and broke within several macro-explosions. The second part of the scene is an uranium glass object with gold leaf scattered on the top. Then two amorphous blobs of hot glass come into the frame. They dance around the object seductively. The audio is composed of a mixture of electronic sounds, news broadcasts regarding Covid, and cicada sounds from rural Taiwan.
