Prometheus string

Abstract

Prometheus' string series attempt various artistic experiments applied to 'data refraction', a concept that breaks frame of data with modern concept of accurate delivery of information and induces more creative results. The resulting installation work includes various processes such as data extraction from living creature into 3D shape generation and printing, as well as robotic sculpture and data visual performance. 'Prometheus string' series began by recognizing the material essence of life as a stream of non-material data. For example, if you look at the human body, dead cells on one side are falling apart, and on the other, new cell division is constantly occurring. The living things that we can see and touch are just a piece of the continual line of life and death of the many invisible substances that make up our body. The information of living things that have been digitalized becomes a model for realizing unexpected results through a process of 'refraction of data' that is transferred or transformed in a way suitable for various systems. Of course, using information about life can't be said that the information can replace life, but it can be a significant attempt to approach the essence of life with a new perspective on the digital system, which is gradually expanding its scope. Prometheus' string series also intends to continue various artistic experiments applied to the 'refraction of data', a concept that breaks the frame of data with a modern concept of accurate delivery of information and induces more creative results. The experiment to convert from material life to non-material information and from information to artificial life will continue. Also experiments of connecting artificial intelligence patterns for robot movement with social discourse as well.
