A Landscape of Events
Before the exhibition, I had a tight schedule to develop the robot, build
the installation, and solve the problems involved in doing so. I have not
yet had the chance to think about the shape of results and how people will
react. Exhibiting this project in the gallery was a good opportunity to
observe peoples’ reactions as well as the results of corrosion. Both hearing
from people and watching traces of corrosion were delightful experiences.
One Canadian woman, Dawn, said that she would like to sit for a while
near the installation, and take a rest while thinking, imaging, reading and
whatever. That was one of the best comments I received, and exactly what
I had been looking for.
James Turrell said in his statement in Mapping Space, “I am interested
in posing questions than in answering them.” One purposes of the project
is to explore natural scapes that can pose questions as opposed to
answering and explaining them, like nature itself. Likewise, I encourage
viewers to question their sense of the surroundings, I am questioning it
myself - how can there be virtual without real, human without nature,
here without there, today without tomorrow and yesterday, and always
without never How can we recognize them This project is to explore
landscapes within contemporary urban and art context and interrogate
