Chandra X, 3D Performative Apparatus-Environment(XR based on interoperable AR/VR, PC, projector, keyboard, mouse), video-installation
Pondering the notion of “convergence” as a socio-political phenomenon, Inhwa Yeom, a media artist and XR researcher, depicts in Chandra a digital labor landscape in the 3D environment. It’s a place and a state, where the boundary between the intention and unintentional visual cognition is neutralized; where the authorities and powers overlap. The work is also a participatory performance, where audiences are invited to play its performative elements. In their own performance, audiences would also experience a sense of both the connection and connection turbulence.
Inhwa Yeom calls <Chandra X>’s medium “3D Performative Apparatus-Environment”. The current version of the apparatus-environment is implemented as an “extended reality”, where web-based virtual reality and augmented reality are interconnected and interoperate. Audiences can connect and intervene in each other’s experiences in real-time, across the heterogeneous realities in heterogeneous device network environments; give and receive interaction and feedback on their performative behaviors.
The virtual reality artwork projected on the wall at the entrance of the exhibition hall can be operated with the arrow keyboard and mouse. Chandra X may operate in synchronization with the movement and gaze of those who have already accessed this apparatus-environment. Touching some augmented nova objects on the screen of AR-based assistive devices at the exhibition, the VR projection generates certain feedback. The AR-based assistive devices function as an “augmented performative apparatus” that lets audiences to connect and intervene in the work. ■ Su Kyung Hwang (Director of Space illi, Independent Curator)
