Huang Wei-Hsuan
from Taipei Taiwan
His primarily creates digital images and animations, with a diverse range of formats including theater images, acoustics, and audio-visuals. His works mainly focus on how to use digital photography modeling images to retell a space that once existed or only exists in the imagination, reconstructing the various floating relationships between people and their dwellings in the past and future, and between imagination and reality.
The works have been invited to exhibitions such as the CHRONIQUES: Digital Imagination Biennale, CENTQUATRE-PARIS, Lincoln Center in Colorado, USA, and the National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts. Starting in 2019, he began to develop XR projects, co-produced the “Shifting Borders” XR project with the Utrecht Theater in the Netherlands, participated in the XR2C2 laboratory at the Université Côte d’Azur in Cannes, and the “尋山” XR experience of the Bare Feet Dance Theatre. He has participated in the Taichung Opera House, the Lacking Sound Fest and served as the image design for the National Theater & National Concert Hall and the Taipei Art Festival.
Memory-expanding Space
Since 2016 onward, I have started focusing on using digital photography and modeling for the configuration of space that used to exist or only exists in one’s imagination. The approach allows me to reconstruct the evolving relations between past and present, imagination and reality as well as people and their inhabiting environment. I launched “The Modernological Project of Immersive Elapsing Images” in 2018 to analyze and test the possibility of converting and representing graphic sequences in past motion images as volume and structure. This attempt explores the dialogue between image and space, how routes in past space merge with memory, and physical movement while analyzing the potentiality of representing and re-experiencing the spaces and scenes in various movies.
