Julie Choi – Looking Outwards – 07

This artwork, Sensing Streams – invisible, inaudible, was created by the collaboration between Ryuichi Sakamoto and Daito Manabe in 2014. This piece is made to express electromagnetic waves that are not visible to the human eyes. The waves express the “manifested in mobile and other communication technologies that have become integral to modern society.” The movement of the electromagnetic waves is conducted by antennas that provide data through a collection of electric waves originated by the technology used today. This projection of imagery and symbolism is displayed for people to visualize the cellular energy that is used in real time. I deeply admire this artwork because the visuals are produced through a set of information to convey certain emotions regarding our society’s attachment to technology.
