Su Huiyu is invited to #RTS: ReTranSens-14th Digital Art Festival Taipei 2019
Artist Su Huiyu is invited to #RTS: ReTranSens-14th Digital Art Festival Taipei 2019. In 2019, the 14th Digital Art Festival Taipei adopts the theme of #RTS: ReTranSens to discuss how our imagination of the world has been realized, and at the same time, changing because of rapidly evolving technology. The knowledge system built upon accumulated experiences has also been transformed with new physical perceptions and feedbacks due to regeneration, bionic and artificial life technologies. These feedbacks, in turn, further expand into new perceptive systems, creating a network connecting individuals and communities. These fast-paced changes enable us to adapt and respond in a quicker way, allowing us to view the world in a new light. Meanwhile, the drastic change that is re-programming the logic of communication also serves as a way for people to affirm their existence.
This time artist Su will present an archive of his Future Shock series, “A Future from the Past: Alvin Toffler, computer OLIVER and a overlook of Expo 70.” On view in this exhibition is the visual display of Su Hui-Yu’s thinking process when producing his art series, Future Shock. The display comprises of different videos, documents and images. The thinking process starts with the homonymous book published in 1970, with the Chinese edition, its cover, and the original English version, and also includes the Expo 70 in Osaka, modernist landmarks around the world and other books and documents about the author of the book, Alvin Toffler. The visual display aims to provide the audience a route of imagination so that they can revisit and examine “the future from the past,” along with the ideologies, anticipations, disparities, as well as the concepts of “modern” and “future” when they were introduced into Taiwan and the Chinese-speaking communities.
