Agape / Temporary echoes

Agape/ Temporary echoes is based on the intersection of new media, CGI animation, topography, live paths and physical movement in digital space. The artist explores the terrain, maps roads and documents her sensory memory with technology and nature in symbiosis. Through walking experience she discovers the possibility of mapping the exact topography of the particular place. By tracking her movements and interactions, she wants to weave a story that reflects both the natural and man-made elements of the region. She uses GPS tracking as a tool for her artistic perception, not as a technological device to display physical location. By mapping the spatial self in the digital environment, she captures the temporary echoes of the invisible. With hypnotic ambient drone music, we can move forward on the path of the ephemeral moments of the nowness.
