“Digital Being: Rebirth - I” at 3 World Trade Center ( 2020 - Current )

When I came to New York City in 2008, it was a year before the broadcast transmission system went digital. Since then, I have observed many abandoned technologies, especially analog TVs, which were once expensive and iconic examples of cutting-edge technology during Nam June Paik's era, discarded on the streets. As an artist, I not only wanted to give them new life as a form of art, but also to explore the direction of evolving technology, its sustainability, and the undiscovered possibilities through my series of artworks, Digital Being.

Digital Being is an invisible and formless creature born out of abandoned technology. Some of these beings work interactively, while others operate randomly, based on the characteristics and original functions of the machines, like a new soul for the device.

Through my artwork, Digital Being, I hope to invite you into a world beyond human-centered thinking.
