Artist Statement

*( same as The Unarchiver (2018) ) The earlier work on the previous exhibition site influenced the conception of The Unarchiver. Consider using documented or historical tools to answer questions about inspection for use in control by carrying out an examination of the content’s control t o develop a new set of beliefs and comprehensions. By creating archived documents to be recompiled and woven into new narratives, one can generate new narratives. This is analogous to writing the history of a state of mixed reality, where the real and the imaginary coexist. In exploit of the imagination that the state wants to be archives to control what can and cannot be said in each historical period. However, these evidences are interpreted by the state’s citizens in order to support the set of beliefs that the state would then establish. The objective is not to mislead the audience, but rather to attempt to undermine their structural and ideological foundations. Methodology for examining societal facts that varies depending on individualistic level. The privacy that comprehends the context that appears to criticises the truth’s medium. This works comprise of facts and use the work to question the state’s subversion of created and subverted facts. Information is used as a political tool to portray facts that, in the context of the time, result in a decay of power by design. The installation is a digital collage. Picture frames with varying contents and specifics are lined up and will be used to hang the artwork. Sometimes it appears that each picture is almost unrelated, while others appear to be very related; however, when put together, and with a thin narrative thread, the audience or viewers are able to piece together hundreds of the stories of each picture. Such assembling all of the story puzzles on this wall with some guidance in which are the experiences of each audience, as is the work of weaving the events on the wall together. Everyone will encounter their differ to varying degrees and for the purpose of framing There is a direct space for individuals to arrange the story themselves, and each individual has a unique preference for reading from left to right or right to left. Each individual could well begin with non-linear approach to order of the works which would results in different subjective experiences.

Large LCD Screen for Generated Collage: Showcasing a large screen displaying the collage image generated based on AI responses. Portable Computer for AI Conversation: A portable computer capable of conversing with AI trained on data from the collage. Functionality of the work: When viewers enter, they start viewing the collage images and establishing connections of meaning between each image. Additionally, emphasis is placed on linking images with text on the small LCD screen. Viewers can ask questions to the AI and engage in conversations about the collage. AI responses are displayed on the small computer screen and forwarded to various parts of the collage on the large screen. The arrangement of responses is distributed across different sections of the collage to highlight the nuanced nature of the answers.
