Sisyphus

3D Rrendered Moving Image Installation

Cao Shu's installation "Sisyphus" is built with a computer graphics program and highlights the artist's fascination with the relationship between the visions of memory and virtual technology. Stories, rumours, scenarios, and technology-like visuals blend realism and falsehood.The technology opens up perceptions that were previously inaccessible to any medium. Memories of flashbacks to the artists childhood in China exist in a row of 25 frames and with no linear narrative. Thorough its title, Cao Shu describes memory as being like the myth of Sisyphus, who was condemned to repeat forever the same meaningless task of pushing a boulder up a mountain, only to see it roll down again.

西西弗斯

3D数字模拟影像装置

曹澍的装置作品《西西弗斯》系列由家庭照片和3d数字模拟影像等多种形态构成，对比照片中清晰的背景建筑，本应当作为主体的人物却模糊不清；同时，树莓派屏幕上微妙变动的暂停场景，截取自游戏引擎渲染的巨大记忆世界的角落，不断闪回。曹澍利用摄影与数字媒介拼接记忆的碎片，图像之灵随着被软件的损坏和篡改而解放。最终，如西西弗斯的神话一样，观看成为不断思考图像内外关系的试炼，西西弗斯的石头到了山顶就结束，不存在起因和结局。这些无人的角落好像是某个间隙或bug，让图像暂时有了一种凝视的可能。
