Sentient Mirror

2023 Summer Interactivity
About my work:
My sentient mirror has a two opposite concepts: background is a reality and video is a utopia. And I illustrate these two different terms are conflicting as putting a solid and monotonous effects. On the other hand, there are cute emoji’s and shaping are surrounding myself which mean the utopia that I imagine. To begin with the reality part , a black background interacts when you press mouse. White particles are randomly change the direction and flows like a wind. It contains the meaning of unpredictable life that I am living now and try to adjust in this society as it flows. Moreover, it also interacts with sounds and makes a glitch when the sound gets louder. It reflects my experience that I learned sometimes silence is a great way rather than speaking out loud. Communicating is a great method to survive in our society, but sometimes it could be a wise choice to be silence and showing my thoughts through behavior. And generating random square box on the camera is another effect a glitch. Lastly, I put "who am I?" which a process of defining myself in this world when I try to adjust in reality boundary. However, you can see cute round shape of cloud on your cheeks and see more controversy images when you press the key number 1,2,3,4. When you press key 1, it appears “Kuromi” character which is my favorite. It also open its’ mouth when the sound gets louder. Key 2 is about coloring rings. It shows how I purse diversity and love respecting differences by creating dynamic movement. Key 3,4 is about my interest, which are sweet stuffs and all about the universe. Universe is also not a part of reality and I always dream to go there so I can define universe as one of my utopia. Two different concepts are existing as a one visual art and I want to deliver my thoughts of living in a formulaic reality with dreams which motivate me to survive in this world.
