The Work: "Luminous Point"
Luminous Point is an interactive video about memory. Memory both human  
and artificial. Navigating per remote control, the viewers explore a  
digital recreation of the artist’s Lower East Side tenement apartment— 
a virtual wunderkammer and archive in which distant places and  
different times, personal biography and cultural history, fact and  
fiction all coexist just like in the mental space of memory.  
Effortlessly changing between microscopic and macroscopic dimensions,  
the visitors pass through a labyrinth of spaces, descend into  
subterranean worlds, lift off skywards like dreamers, free from the  
binds of gravity and linear time. Luminous Point seamlessly combines  
video and computer generated material, creating a new form of  
electronic work, a hybrid composed of elements from narrative and  
documentary video/film, computer game, virtual reality, and photography.

My work explores the shifting realities of everyday life, memory and  
dream. The method : overtly and covertly recording what‘s ephemeral  
and seemingly mundane.
Aided by a computer and a 3D application, I mull over the various ways  
these snippets might possibly relate, much like a scientist or  
detective trying to fit the pieces of an unknown puzzle.

Even get a sneak peak at the material (even though it will be nothing  
like seeing it LIVE in the Garden!):
