Methodology
In an era where technology itself produces culture and gradually becomes culture, there is a need for comprehensive interdisciplinary research to examine the relationship between technology and art in the digital age. Technological objects have acquired a subject-like status similar to that of humans, and their abilities in specific fields surpassing those of humans is no longer uncommon. The content directly generated by new technologies not only leads to the emergence of new styles but also alters the fundamental logic and production process of art. The objectification of data and the digitization of the object are explicit realities today. As a form of internal integration, digital images constitute a unified entity in empiricism, encompassing all elements of spectacular cultural society.
In my current ongoing artistic practice and theoretical research, the study and practice of Digital Images and their Materiality play a crucial role. The specific methodological approach is centered around the human as the central processing unit (CPU) for creating machines, while also exploring forms of (reciprocal) collaboration between humans and technological objects.
This methodological approach reinforces our subjective position as cultural creators, orchestrating various human and non-human capabilities to achieve optimal transformation. Transformation here signifies the process by which science and technology become art, as well as the subjective agency of humans.
