Maya tells stories, experiences, and relationships between people online and those living in the real world. Innovative mediums such as smartphones, tablets, televisions, computers and electronic devices have become the windows that lead humans to explore the whole world more easily. Although they are composed of only tiny little pixels, these tools help reflect the truth, while at the same time revealing the subconscious of all human beings.
I am one of those people who have had a considerable amount of influence from the cyber realm. Transferring schools quite often because of my father’s job could also be the reason why I am so close to the virtual world as it introduced me to new friends across the globe. Some of them have kept in touch with me for more than 10 years. We even traveled to the other side of the world just to see each other and become friends for life until now.
Many people may think that this is a strange lifestyle. However, for me, it is an experience only a specific group of people can truly understand. That probably explains why they invest so much of their time online more than the real world.
My installation art incorporates video clips from my friends presenting in forms of modern art. The installation work intends for the audiences who visit the show to immerse themselves in a variety of lifestyles from people around the world through these digital windows.
I have collected 600 clips from my friends whom I met on web board and online semi-public space. The videos will be played on 60 tablets together with drawings and paintings that share the same concept of “Maya”.
