In physics, “motion” is a change in the position of an object with respect to time while “space” is the area in which the object exists. The main theme of the exhibition Absolute Motion is to explore the relationship between continuous motion and its space. Through a series of works by eight young artists, who are inspired by their daily observations, this exhibition covers a broad range of topics, from the mental reaction when a person experiences motion in high speed to the unique rhythms and scenes created by using various media for movements, such as mechanical device, audio, light, and fog.
Wang Lien-Cheng’s Regeneration Movement, Hsieh Jo-Lin’s All at One Point, Luo He-Lin’s Luminous–organism, and Yu Shih-Fu’s The "O" 001 ,003 all create a paradoxical emotional experience by looking into the relationship between mechanical motion and its structure and space. Din Chin-Chung’s Vacant Room 2 presents a distorted spatial scale and a false perception of gravity by reorganizing and editing the process of motion in the video. By manipulating the motion of light, Chang Huei-Ming captures the imagination of time and speed in his work The Last Rose. Pu Shuai-Cheng, in his work Fog Building, projects images into a blanket of fog and uses the gaseous movements to create a fascinating relationship between different images. In the opening show Moving Resonance, the artist Wang Aluan builds up a perfectly logical audio-visual relationship by utilizing mathematical algorithms. Through these works, a new aesthetic feeling of motion, speed, and space is presented to all viewers.
