Artist Statement
Electric-Ruby is an experimental work to realize a physical reality of parallel world that will continuing between the influence of natural and technology. It is a kind of realis- tically like ruined earth or another fantastical space. But artist mentions on his work “... isn’t just an artwork, it’s an extension of my life, explores how our daily experiences – the tasks we do, the emotions we feel – shape the art we create”.*
The artwork itself developed in three parts as a computer gaming system: PROCES- SOR, RAM, and ECLIPSE. The Processor refer as the landscape, where it’s transforming into vibrant of crystals. Ram, the collective memory bank, stores these crystallized matters inside, and Eclipse is a dark-space where discarded materials – the remnants of collide things and their phenomenological beings.
Through the process like computer system and using the materials such as stone, plants, earth crystals, cement, glass or fire and wood that easily seen our surrounding. The results of action based by artist-self in a way of live-action, this work has a sense of dystopian future as the human-made di- saster on our earth.
