"SomaMappingII" 2012
SomaMapping II is an interactive installation based on digital media, an interactive mechanism, and bodily image representation. It records an observer's movements and adds those of an unknown crowd, creating a collective mapping of physical movements that epitomizes a small social network. The installation captures viewers' movements in real-time, forming images and sounds, exploring recorded behaviors, continuous image aesthetics, and human-environment relationships. Digital technology breaks the barrier between artwork and audience through digital body sketching, creating unique digital body records for virtual communication, mapping collective movements, and showcasing relationships between individuals, their environments, and society.

This process blurs personal memories, transforming them into an ideology that transcends various roles. In the online world, this shared, co-created, and shared experience quickly provides experiences while also being provided with experiences, resembling the automatic growth of digital memory. Such a situation gives rise to a new form of artificial perception.
