SUPER–TRAJECTORY: Life in Motion is a presentation of new media artworks from Taiwan and Singapore that reflects on the human experience in an era of instantaneity,
transformation and conflict, where speed is the new scale.
Through a programme of installations and screenings, artists investigate the artistic and cultural consequences of new technologies,
reflecting on what it means to be making art in an accelerating, media-influenced world.
The artists, in different ways, explore a digital world that generates itself and our longing for material qualities and tactile connections in our lives. We see Chih-Ming Fan, Ong Kian Peng and Syntfarm employ computational algorithms as interventions to the present moment as we are confronted with new realities; while Debbie Ding, Charles Lim and Weixin Quek Chong engage with the intimacy and agency of touch in an exploration of materiality and physicality in our relationships with technologies. In the works of Cecile Chagnaud, Hsin-Jen Wang, Mangkhut (Jeremy Sharma) and Tsan-Cheng Wu, we encounter a delicate exchange with the artists’ worlds as they consider the notion of home and memory by mapping their personal experiences against the unprecedented impact of urbanisation.
Between today’s postdigital condition and the complex yet banal realities of contemporary life, this group of works poses the question: What are the humanistic values and principles in an increasingly formatted world?
SUPER–TRAJECTORY: Life in Motion at ArtScience Museum is a collaboration with INTER–MISSION (Urich Lau and Teow Yue Han), tamtamART (Vicky Yun-Ting Hung, Wei-Ming Ho and Lois Wen-Chi Wang) and Tainan Art Museum. Participating artists include Cecile Chagnaud, Debbie Ding, Chih-Ming Fan, Charles Lim, Ong Kian Peng, Weixin Quek Chong, Mangkhut (Jeremy Sharma), Syntfarm (Andreas Schlegel and Vladimir Todorovic), Hsin-Jen Wang and Tsan-Cheng Wu.
The first iteration of SUPER–TRAJECTORY, Media/Life Out of Balance (6 October 2019 to 3 March 2020), was presented at Tainan Art Museum, setting out this cross-regional platform for contemporary and experimental
media art and exchange in discourses on technology in art.
