As the human body dissipates, in a mutation cavity, the cell is breathing faintly.
In the face of the constant displacement of our living space in contemporary times, images and sounds are separated, the world is repeatedly dissembled and reassembled to produce unfamiliar messages. As the human body being a container, a building, how does it lead us to perceive inner and outer space, and construct relationships?
In this project, Ying-Chen tried to retrieve the sensation before the perception formed, which is like a cellular matrix, still in the state of "translucent liquid colloidal substance" and "material in progress". She created a system with the human body, light, and sound which are entangled via electronic signals, thus producing the scattered signs of life, to observe the neurotransmission processes of the body in response to a stimulus.
System:
This system uses noise inside the human body to affect light and spatial audio movement.
One particle in Brownian motion --> triggered by the body noise --> the other particles at rest without external force are disturbed by the force field.
The particles sometimes disperse into space and sometimes aggregate into an organism.
