If “Unknown” could be predicted, what would be the meaning of “Future”?

The exhibition "Alter tempo" expands these concepts to a series of new media artworks. In the exhibition, the artist will explore time, manipulate light and shadow, and reprogram images, express his reflections on the future and the unknown.

The existence of time provides a sense of time sequence. It is intently studied as a scalar quantity by contemporary scientists. It is one of the most critical topics in Physics nowadays. Also, time is the base element in various simulation software which uses theories and algorithms to predict phenomena in the future. With advanced simulation software, we can visualize a vast amount of data. The virtual camera changes our way of observation, reducing the risk found during decision-making. For example, we use the real-time traffic information application to predict the arrival time of the vehicles and plan the various traveling routes. Although the application may help us avoid all the random events, whether it will create a numb traveling experience. Digital data include conversation records, consuming receipts, countless CCTV cameras and QR codes. Since our behaviour would be converted into the interactions among various digital data, humans transform themselves as the micro components, giving up their own individual judgment. Likewise, the pixel of a digital camera illuminates in a particular position to compose a complete image; construct an image containing the collective purpose.
