To Outland is a media art exhibition that explores digital manipulation of the erratic forms in nature, featuring works by Hong Kong and Berlin based artist Carla Chan Ho-Choi.
About
As her first solo show in Berlin, this exhibition showcases video artworks that mistreat and misplace visual elements of natural scenery, such as texture, scale and movement of landscapes, portraying an immersive journey through an alien land.
Responding heavily to the humanization in postdigitalism, Carla’s work associates the abstractness in the digital with the sense of bodily space. The worlds in the artworks embrace the audience by creating an ever-changing state, blurring the boundaries between natural and cultivated, random and ordered.
The morphing is constant. It creates new yet familiar representations of a foreign world, encouraging other interpretations and imagination by the audience. Whilst acknowledging video art as a time-based medium, the minimal visual and ambiguous movement signify the notion of time and, as a result, magnify the micro-drama in nature.
