Spatial memory

(2022)

projection mapping, multimedia art

'Spatial memory' is a form of memory responsible for the recording and recovery of information needed to plan a course to a location and to recall the location of an object or the occurrence of an event.

As more and more things from our everyday lives are copied into the digital realm, point clouds offer a faster way to accurately generate a virtual replication of an existing object or in this case a memory. Memory allows us to share what we experience and make connections with the world and the people around us. It is the thread that binds us to one another. Through memory, we learn to retrieve information needed to plan a course to a location, recall the location of an object, or relive the occurrence of an event.
 
This art collection is the visualisation of spatial memory data which have been collected and treated digitally using point cloud technology. The artist has collected, structured and convert raw data into usable information which can then be visualised so that it can be more readily interpreted. It is a visual journey that celebrates beautiful and striking memories while allowing you to form your own relationship within this exploration and digital discovery of neural art.

Bio

Red Pig Flower (Seoul 1986, grew up in Tokyo, London, Berlin) is a media artist, curator. DJ, performer,  electronica music producer and memory collector.  She studied Journalism and Mass media in CAU Seoul, Time based fine art in CSM London,  Media information design in LUCA Brussel. 

Often hypnotic, dreamy and limitless, her works are deeply influenced by both the Asian philosopher Zhūangzi (庄 子 ) and the vibrant Berlin techno scene. She often combines dream-like digital projections with Various objects and sounds in an attempt to manifest her vision of a non-Western view of infinity. 

From generative design, holographic figures to soundscape, In Red Pig Flower’s mesmerizing work, coalesce into virtual human non-form in order to explore her own concerns of post-humanism in the digital era. 

Through the memory project, she is on a path to finding connection and flow between universality and specificity. She visualizes a relationship between every matter in the surroundings and expresses them through her art.

Her works have been exhibited in remarkable venues such as the Nottingham Biennale, NCCA (National Centre for Contemporary Arts) in Moscow, Goldsmiths University in London and the Asia Culture Center in Gwangju, Denver digerati in 2022 to name a few.
