Future Morphoid: Crystact

People tend to entrust sentiments and memories to objects, where traces of use serve as proof of a life once lived.
At the site, a display case resembling a stone coffin houses the personal belongings accumulated by the artist’s grandmother throughout her life, stacked together into the shape of a human figure; Micro devices attached to the human-shape object continue sampling and computing, transforming the evidence into a faint and yet steady “breath.” Meanwhile, the projected images on the back wall are reassembled in the fragment form to present an impression both unfamiliar and familiar, extending and proliferating within the digital realm at the same time.
This is an experiment in “how not to forget”: private memories and algorithms, data and images, interlock within the intergranular fracture, and thus generate a new mode of existence. Perhaps we have already been living this way—outsourcing memory to the cloud, entrusting daily life to the lens. As data continues to breathe in its own rhythm, “she,” too, can be extended, lingering within the fractures.
