“JI-TEN-TEN-TEN-TEN-TEN-SHA” is the artwork where one of the parts of a bicycle is overlapped again and again. I actually cut the pictures and pasted them in a real world, not only on the computer.
Then, I used the techniques of metal casting and hammering, this mysterious form was created while communicating and interacting with materials.
It looks like a processed work of image-altering, yet when the viewers come close, it is, in fact, a hand-made product.
Just as Duchamp transformed the value of art 100 years ago, by separating the daily objects from situations to make concepts into art, the value of art is changing again. This is due to the improvement of the information process brought by computers, the simultaneity of information, or the expandability of images from the virtual world. I assume that the value of the current contemporary is moving forward to the next stage or epoque.
In the computer world, it is easy to replicate by ignoring gravity effortlessly. Recently, with the development of techniques such as CG or VR, this enables the birth of art in which works can be created even if they do not exist in the real world. In the real world, however, we cannot handle the materials easily as we can in the computer world.
This work presents the concept of ready-made, while It is also a challenge for me to resist against the virtual world through my own craftsmanship with hand process.
