Path of Noise (r, theta, phi)
Application program
Paul LACROIX［France］
Each particle expresses the randomness of one’s life, the chaotic paths that we follow, born together, moving apart, brought together again. Cherry blossoms convey a feeling of happiness and peace in the heart of the viewer. The (r, theta, phi) in the title refers to the representation of a point coordinates in a spherical environment. A very interesting aspect of using a sphere-shaped screen is the absence of bounds, having neither a beginning nor an end. This piece of generative art is rendered in real-time, offering each time different colors
and patterns. -

Dear Virus
Video work
WANG Junjie［China］
Viruses have been inseparable from human beings since long ago, although they have been given a harder look lately. This work is a message to wish for coexistence with the life form (i.e., viruses). In a white space with plants emerging and disappearing, a constantly-metamorphosing blue object appears with a narrative voice, saying, “There is something in my body.” The object walks away after transforming into a blue cow, then the background turns black, and a spiral motif reminiscent of a gene and tree moves around the screen. The work poetically portrays the human-virus relationship by using the specific objects appearing in the black-and-white space, the narration in a detached tone, the tranquil yet agitating piano-based music, and the title of the work that clearly defines the theme. This 360-degree animation is painted on a pearlescent acrylic plate, and its mystique is apparent not only in a VR environment but also on a flat screen.
