Artist Statement
The machine records the world; it is a witness to the world.
The machine recreates the image of the world; it is the creator of the world.
The machine expands the human vision; it is an expansion of human eyes.
How the images of the world are recorded, recreated and expanded through the lens of the machine.

‘Machine Meditation’ is the first video installation work I made during the first semester in 2018. With typical objects found in a Buddhist temple, like incense and sitting cushions, the space resembles a religious temple. In this space, computer monitors take the place of religious statues. Through this video installation, I address my belief that machines have their own consciousness.
