Die diversen Medienkunstwerke wurden im Rahmen des Studiengangs Digitale Medien, unter der Begleitung von Professor Ralf Baecker entwickelt. Von Licht angetriebene Roboter, ein mechanisches Orchester, welches Echtzeitdaten von Rohstoffmärkten interpretiert, physische und phänomenologische Untersuchungen der Stimme, sowie Spekulationen über Zeit und rechnergestützte Wahrnehmungen – sind dabei nur einige Beispiele der Arbeiten, welche spektakulär in dem scheinbar leeren Gebäude platziert werden, das gleichzeitig noch die sichtbaren Spuren seiner Vergangenheit trägt.

Liminalität bringt die Vergangenheit in die Gegenwart. Der Ort, der einst von der Erforschung der Toten bestimmt war, dient nun der künstlerischen Erforschung via Video-, Sound- und interaktiven Installationen. Auf den ersten Blick mag es so aussehen, als gäbe es kaum eine Verbindung zwischen den ausgestellten Objekten und dem Ort, an dem sie sich befinden. Wer genauer hinsieht, wird jedoch die feinen Verknüpfungen erkennen: So wie Leben und Tod untrennbar miteinander verwoben sind, nimmt auch jedes Werk den Wandel als Zustandsveränderung vorweg. Die Prozesse werden zum Schlüssel, der es erlaubt, sich auf die pure Wahrnehmung zu konzentrieren und Interpretationen zweitrangig werden lässt.

The variety of new media artworks has been produced in the Digital Media program at the Hochschule für Künste under the guidance of Professor Ralf Baecker. Simple robots powered through light, a mechanical orchestra performing real-time data from commodity stocks, explorations of the voice in both the physical and phenomenological senses, as well as interrogations of embedded vectors in AI and speculations on time and computational perceptions –- all spectacularly placed in what appears to be an empty building that still bears traces of the past.

Liminality brings the past into the present. The place that was once driven by the study of life cycles, now nurtures the exploration of life as a whole. At first, it may seem that there is little connection between the objects and the places they are situated. But everything is organically related. Just as life and death are inseparable, each work anticipates change as a difference between states. It is as if the process becomes the element that makes it possible to abandon interpretation in favor of perception.

The Privileged Land (v1.0) is an ongoing multimedia practice of translating the status quo of living in Germany as a South Korean woman in the current times - in the form of a presentable artwork.

Youngji Cho has been struggled to fall asleep since the beginning of October 2023. The ongoing genocide triggered her intergenerational trauma of war, death, colonisation, and division. She sometimes regretted her decision to move to Germany, frustrated, suffering, stuck, and feeling privileged to live in this country. There are many irrational, illogical, and inhumane things happening, and she was unable to produce any artworks for a while. Then she began to write down some words, sentences, and paragraphs that remained in her mind when she woke up. After writing, she closed her notes and opened her phone to record her voice with her thoughts, feelings, random sounds, and songs that came naturally to her after writing, which was often emotional. The audio of this work is a selection of a few pieces from over 90 recordings over 73 days from December 2023 to February 2024.

The complete work of The Privileged Land (v1.0) is presented as an audiovisual installation on a portrait view of a 4K screen, where a video of a closed flame is played together with an audio collage. The audience may not be sure what the image is when the video starts to play, but as the angle of the video begins to zoom out, they may slowly notice the flame.

Fire, is artificial, yet, primitive.

Fire, may be the oldest television, may entertain me, you, her, him, and them, the privileged.
Fire, may mean the life, the lives, and the light in this universe, where it's common to be dead and dark.

Fire, may show anger, which may motivate some people to survive.

Fire, may warm up some people, and keep them alive.

Fire, which may be the oldest television, may entertain me, you, her, him, and them, the privileged.
