Description
This project, COPY/CUT/PASTE aims to explore the characteristics of computer-generated images, i.e., How much similarity is there between computer-generated images and reality?
Based on this question, I have explored the development of the medium and studied the characteristics of each era of the medium to discover the characteristics of its derivatives – Image, including Manual Reproduction, Mechanical Reproduction and Digital Images.
The project is designed to make people aware that everything with virtual properties will eventually become a threat to real reality, except that when the virtual world becomes more dominant, the real world will gradually be replaced, so there will be no conflict between the virtual and the real.
Here is a dialogue between me and the digitalized me:
He looks a lot like me, rotated in such a way that I can look at him closely, the crippled body has lines weaving through it, supporting the three-dimensional image.
He wanders through the screen, seeming to be getting used to the image, particles leaving imprints in the screen as his body moves, reproducing and breeding, losing his reference, becoming infinitely virtual, transforming into symbols, finally cutting off the connection with reality.
