Coding work, 2019
I always think that we need more humorous in the serious topics to keep people’s interest. And that’s it. You may down load the simulator for yourself to play in the links blow. Note that you need Java8 environment to run it.
Dumbest Music Visualizer
code, 2019
Dead Stranding is a good game :p
Anyway it just a music visualiser that you can use to create some stupid stuffs if you’re a singer or you know how to compose. You can download it for yourself to play via below links. If you want the permission for commercial using, please email me first :p. Do note that you need a Java8 environment to run it.
It and Me
2019, Video
I named the final work It and Me. It is a short video combining music, stop motion animation and generated images. The core of the work is reacting to the music, I drew on paper and made the stop motion animation with the music, and I wrote a code to visualize it. At first, I thought the images drown by me and the computer would be quite different, but the result comes that they are similar in some ways. That really surprised me.
This artwork is not trying to show how good or bad computer or human (more correctly, me) can recognize music. We react to the music in a, to some degree, very emotional way. What we can easily get from the music are the emotions and we can hardly recognize the physical characteristics, like sequence, of the music. The interesting thing is that, for a computer, it is quite the opposite. It is more like an exploration to the question: How would it look like if I put those images that refer to the same thing but produced in totally different logics and methods.
Hong Kong Night Machine
2019, installation
Hong Kong Night Machine is an installation about light pollution and my personal feeling about it. I record and recompose neon lights and LED advertisements in Monk Kwok, one of the most lit areas at night in Hong Kong. The images are then displayed on a low-resolution LED screen, on which they become abstract. I also record my brainwave during sleepless nights due to the strong light outside the window, then engrave the data onto physical filters that are put in front of the LED screen. The filters further deform the images and merge the data with the light from the screen.
Hong Kong Night Machine is exhibited at Blown Away exhibition in Hall F, Tai Kwun, Central, Hong Kong.
