Homesick

Concept

A river of city circulates physically and (perhaps) mentally with the citizens_ This work metaphorically expresses my current physical and mental state through the microscopic world in water drop mixed with two rivers, Anseong (Korea) and Weimar (Germany), which closely connected to me.

Technical position

Use Touch Designer or max map. Overlay music notes and the video relaying the movement of microorganisms through the microscope. When the movement of microorganisms intersects the five lines of music note, the corresponding scale_do re mi pa sol la si do _ is played in real time.

Aesthetic positon_Installation

Microorganisms in the water drop are observed through a microscope and recorded on video. The video is shown on the screen in real time. The data of the movement of microorganisms are converted into sound data values. Sound is generated and played back in real time.

• Use a large screen to contrast the microscopic world.
• Separate transparent spheres containing water from both cities. Water is constantly changing in the exhibition space. The sphere shape means 'Circulation' and 'Oneness'.

Why Water Drops? why river?

-circulation

I think that city rivers and citizens share the same body. People in the city drink the river water. The sewage produced by human excretion goes through a purification process and returns to the river. River water becomes the water we drink again.

-Our bodies (muscles and blood) are made up of water. -Suitability as a physical property. One drop of water + one drop of water = one drop of water. The physical properties of water that become one without being separated from each other. 1+1 =1 .
