Abstract

Living Wonderland: Generative Art in Video Format

Living Wonderland is a 3D generative art (video) piece trying to see through our inner vision as an abstract expression during the time in quarantine with creative coding. “Living Wonderland” not only metaphorically reveals our lust of craving for freedom but also illustrates the kindness embedded in everyone during this COVID-19 epidemic/quarantine period. No matter it represents the lust or the kindness of every human being, that Wonderland deep in everyone's awareness is just like a "living thing" eager to break through the "frame" of any pre(post)-set constraints, illness, and boundary to look for hope. However, we all know that keeping distance at the time will benefit the entire world. Our inner nature is drastically swinging between the furious thoughts(fears) and the peaceful mind, just like the heartbeat, just like this living wonderland.


Three of my 3D video works, innerNature, LivingWonderland, and Myth from the Future were selected to be exhibited in the “Coupled World” online exhibition under 1EuroCinema organized by Telamagic.online. The exhibition curated by Susanne Janssen, Louisa Teichmann and Telemagic/1EuroCinema would like to experiment the digital form/role of Cinema under this digital-dominated world. The audience can freely navigate on 4 fantasy virtual islands entitled Locked-in Genus, Mimicry Genus, Threshold Genus, and Empowerment Genus addressing different social topics created by the organizer. While on the island, the audience can look for the selected artists’ videos by following the hint (they called it critter) and enjoy them just like playing a video game but also like visiting an actual exhibition. innerNature, LivingWonderland, and Myth from the Future were located on the “Mimicry Genus” island which focuses on the topic of digital nature. Coupled World by 1EuroCinema intends to provide a unique virtual film watching experience to challenge the definition of “Cinema” under this inevitable VR trend.
