The exhibition will be open to the public with free admission from September 11 to December 20.
Taipei Cultural Center of TECO in New York is very pleased to present the solo exhibition-Huang Hsin-Chien: the Inheritance held at Herbert F. Johnson Museum of Art, Cornell University from September 11st through December 20th, 2015. This exhibition features installation of new media art from Taiwanese artist, Huang Hsin-Chien.
The installation combines everyday objects with real-time video and virtual stereoscopic computer-generated animation to explore memory, dreams, and what lies beneath the surface of consciousness. The exhibition space will display the four objects, worn leather shoes, a camera, a watch, and dentures in a glass – which were remade based on Huang Hsin-Chien’s memory, then captured by a high-resolution camera. These objects are placed on pedestals with one-way mirrors above them and, similar to an interrogation chamber, behind the mirrors is an observation room. The audience can view the items in the room they’re displayed in, but in the dark room on the other side of the mirrors they can also, wearing 3D glasses, watch real-time images of the objects on 3D projectors as they are captured by cameras. These images merge in real time into virtual 3D images on top of them. These objects are from the old apartment building Huang Hsin-Chien lived when he was young, and they will, like plants, sprout forth from the surface of these inherited objects, growing and dying.
