Artist Statement
FEED is an interactive installation that explores the notion of the self and the fragmented existence of bodies and sensorium. Combining video game elements, spatial soundscape, and transmedia storytelling, FEED 3.0 takes the audience on an immersive audiovisual journey in a panopticon-like complex. While a tracking apparatus constantly scans and monitors everything in the space as if an autonomous being with many eyes, the audience plays the role of a computer mouse, a curious listener and user walking on a long scrolling feed, passing by various characters in their internet cubicles, and potentially getting lost in this internet labyrinth full of joyful colors and sound events.
The project aims to construct an immersive and interactive environment that invites the audience to critically observe and question their everyday living situation in a post-digital age. FEED is part of our Doppelgänger series, an ongoing artistic research project examining various systemic and social-political issues in the context of surveillance capitalism.
About the artists
Weilu Ge is a composer and media artist based in Cambridge, MA. She works with various media forms, from concert music, installation to video and innovative technology. Her recent practice explores theatrical expressions of sonic, visual and spatial media in interactive and immersive spaces, taking composition and space as critical means to examine relationships between power, system, body, and technology in a social-cultural context. Weilu’s works have been performed and exhibited internationally. Weilu holds an Interschool MFA in Art and Technology & Composition & Experimental Sound Practice with a concentration in Integrated Media from the California Institute of the Arts. She is currently a PhD candidate in Creative Practice and Critical Inquiry at Harvard University.
Kelon has worked in many forms of media, from traditional academic art paintings to digital animation and programming. He has explored animation in film and digital forms along with its integration into video installation, dome, and theater projection. “Fluidity” is the word to describe his mastery of the smooth lines in his calligraphy and paintings, the animation of metamorphosis and body movement, and sound-driven editing. His works are influenced by surrealism and have been exhibited in various festivals, including Electronic Language International Festival in São Paulo, Animamix Biennale in Hong Kong, Japan Media Arts Festivals, etc.
