Theme: Empirical Experience
Transition, 2020
Coming to the contemporary era, modern theories of consciousness are more developed. It doesn't mean the concepts about consciousness and unconsciousness in the past is wrong. More importantly, we started to rethink about the consciousness or unconsciousness is not only a single entity. The existing of consciousness and unconsciousness are interdependent but not intrinsically antagonistic.
In this project, I included somebody in my artistic practices. Showing my thoughts to somebody and presented in an artistic way. I dominated somebody's hands to paint what I expected. The brushstrokes on canvas can tell. "somebody" tried to get rid of controlling in my hands, but indeed "somebody" cannot forgive his unwanted reaction. "Somebody" was controlling the intensity and strength of holding brushes, the brushes direction, the amount of paints etc.
Sometime, if we’re supposed to take the fact that we cannot observe something as evidence that it actually exists, then that thing is outside the realm of science. So why does artistic practice of conceptual and process art exist? It may be an alternative way to let people actually feel and witness the moment of the cooperation between the conscious and unconscious mind.
