“The More you Connect the Less you Connect” is a project based on memory fragmented nature and an interactive meditation on childhood and memory mechanism. This piece was part of the School for Poetic Computation 2019 Spring Session Showcase, NYC. I was drawn into this video installation because the film itself contained a lot of distortion and abstract editing, which is very similar to my style as an artist. The artists use their family and raw footages from a VHS family video from the 1990s as their main subject. Even though the film itself is very loud and energetic, this piece is very strangely soothing to me. The usage of physical colored cables and the user being able to plug them in and out was very appealing to my eyes. More than a critique, I wonder how this project would be like if the scale was more monumental so that it could convey the feeling of being consumed into the “memories” of the past.
