Clarity
Recent media is complex. It is deeply infiltrated by the present new technologies of well-developed network infrastructures and advancing computer functions. In turn, the barriers of traditional media are disappearing and their aspects are becoming scrambled.
However, just because media is progressing does not mean that humans are evolving along with it. For this very reason, it is important to limit the complication of media functions ourselves, and communicate with clarity on the concept of representers of aesthetics. In this exhibition I am introducing works with the theme of communication with "clarity," both consciously and unconsciously.
