The Quantity of Physicality

Outside of time, Weight doesn't exist

No Swaying, Nothing Happens 2

Objects are Distorted than They Appear

At 

The Place We’ve Been

we witness repeatedly

Balanced; inevitably fragile

.


A

Tongue Twister

keeps trying to

Balance-re-Balance

reiterating that

Just as Nothing is Perfectly Balanced, Nothing is Perfectly Out of Balance

.


No Swaying, Nothing Happens

is

An Awkward Truth

captured by

A Tool for ‘Unmeasurable’

The Flow

A Möbius of Inertia

solenoids, The Place We’ve Been, 2023

Each solenoid is positioned in a different location to explore spatial elements from the space, like a window, a door,
a wall, etc. While light in the white box presents dreamy and blurry memories, sound that resonates through the space embodies the sense of place and time.

<The Place We’ve Been> is composed of white boxes randomly placed in space and Arduinos that are individually connected to them. Each Arduino is programmed with one input(PIR sensor) and two outputs(LEDs, a solenoid). The PIR sensor attached to the box acts as an actuator for Arduino triggering it when an audience approaches the box closely.
When the Arduino is triggered, the audience can observe the blinking LEDs through a thin slit in the box. At the same time, a solenoid located at an random point away from the box generates various sounds by tapping different parts of the space in sync with the rhythm of the LEDs. While the audience looking into the box experiences both the visual information about LEDs and auditory information from the solenoid, their visual experience is confined to the interior of the box. Conversely, other audience members, physically free to explore the source of the tapping sound throughout the entire space, lack the visual information happening inside the box.



This work explores how different combinations of sensory experiences under shared conditions create unique personal memories through performativity. In order to exclude preceding information, its location is chosen with reference to the concept of liminal space.
