Contemporary memory is undergoing a technology-driven qualitative transformation. This series of works employs a comparative study of authoritarian symbols in Taiwan (statues of Chiang Kai-shek) and Eastern Europe (Soviet-era monuments), investigating how monuments are re-encoded by contemporary media following their physical exile, removal, and spectacularization.
By framing 3D printing, generative AI, and spatial algorithms as contemporary "memory technologies," these works attempt a critical deconstruction of historical archives, urban legends, and collective memory. Rather than providing a flawless representation of history, this series highlights the "rejection" and "malfunctions" that occur as technology attempts to consume the past. This is manifested through authoritarian symbols collapsing into depthless digital "shells," "Manifold Errors" generated during AI modeling, or the residual physical "support structures" left behind once the sculptural subjects are stripped away. Through this continuous process of computation and reconstruction, the works expose the inherent fragility of the monument as a tool for shaping memory, prompting a re-evaluation of our distance from historical legacies.
