3D Rendered 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.

3D渲染动画装置

“西西弗斯”，由大小不等的数十个GIF装置组成，作者利用3D软件建造出一个个梦和记忆的情景并置，试图建立起一种视觉图像之间并置呈现的关系。正如同侦探片中毫不相干的片段并置，可以令人不可思议地通过标记关系网来解决案件一样。只有不断闪回的连续25帧，并没有线性的叙事。记忆如同西西弗斯神话，石头到了山顶，事件就结束，并不存在这个情景的起因和结局。
