Abstract
Fragments: Generative Art in Video Format
“Fragments” is a generative art/video piece that illustrates the artist’s expression of the meaning of life. The fragmented color pixels distributed in the container metaphorically represent individuals living in this existing world. As human beings, we might get confused and hesitate to find our destined roles, especially after this COVID-19 uncertainty. However, confronting this drastic catastrophe, like the flying color dots that roam around the space and eventually end up in their spots to make a complete painting, all human beings will ultimately cooperate/care/support each other as commons to evolve into a brand-new balanced society/community. No matter if it’s a famous painting or not, the pixel will find its doomed position of the work to actively live out the very best of its life. All single-color-pixel can also be interpreted as a fragment of one’s life whether it is bitter or sweet, it would ultimately mingle together to achieve a beautiful artwork of life.
"Fragments" was exhibited as video artwork in the Open Submission section along with other 43 international artists’ pieces under this year’s theme “Community” at PCD@Coimbra by the Department of Informatics Engineering, University of Coimbra Polo 2. PCD@Coimbra aims at being a showcase for what is currently being developed in Portugal, especially in Coimbra, and also a place for stimulating discussion and initiating future collaborations. In this event, PCD@Coimbra includes workshops, exhibitions and talk sessions.
Exhibited at PCD@Coimbra, 7-8 December 2022
