Rota: A Journey into Nothingness
This immersive new media artwork delves into the concept of “nothingness,” offering an autonomous sensory meridian response (ASMR) experience using motors and canvas.
Through “Rota,” audiences find themselves entranced by the repetitive spin-and-stop motion, accompanied by beeping sounds. The spinning machine offers a fresh canvas every second. This sensory experience transforms the space into a sanctuary for meditation, isolating the audience from the external world and providing a respite from reality. This installation is meditation and retreat, guiding audiences to detach from the complexities and burdens of daily existence. Rota articulates the essence of “nothingness” through the fusion of digital control and physical randomness.
Visitors are invited to record their moment of nothingness with putting stickers on postcard.
