Experiencing Interruptions?

ETERNITY

The story follows a point of view of satellite that observes a human eternity closely. Human beings experience very similar things repeatedly in life:
A report from the satellite;

2) Development: Human grows from mother nature.
3) Violence: Brutality is repeatedly going in a human eternity.
4) Power of the Pyramid: Caste and Slavery.
5) Lightness and Heaviness: Yin and Yang, and Plus and Minus.
6) Imagination: Experience, knowledge, consciousness, and unconsciousness.
7) Emotions: Happiness, anger, sadness, and depression.

Through my doctoral research ‘shamanism as contemporary art of healing(2019 )), I have been working on video art, experimental sound/noise, and performance based on neo/digital shamanism and spirituality, unconsciousness, artistic salvation in live art. Ancient shamanism rituals were the first form of spiritual performance art that humans tried to communicate with nature. Inheriting that idea, I focus on reconstructing it into contemporary multimedia performance art. Through this experiment, I want to describe the existence of energy, dealing with traumatic events and how it can be purified by live art. It is dedicated to a reconciliation between the past, nature, and the future, technology.
