About the Video
'Stroll, Scroll and Sight' narrates a human story of getting through sufferings, and the journey is described by multiple viewpoints which are invented from media history. Through a first person perspective of drone and second person perspective of computer game, audiences become a God, gamer and virtual ‘I’ in the artwork. The artist induces audience to experience the relationship among human, art and technology with their eyes, ears and body. Through these diverse interpretations, the artist unfolds a meditative story of human. 우수상 최성록, Stroll, Scroll and Sight (2016) 'Stroll, Scroll and Sight'은 한 인간이 역경을 헤쳐나가는 모습을 미디어의 역사에 의해 만들어진 세 가지 시점으로 보여줍니다. 드론의 시점, 이인칭 컴퓨터 게임 시점, 그리고 가상적 일인칭시점을 통해 관객은 신이 되거나 게이머가 되어 가상의 공간을 경험합니다. 작가는 인간과 예술 그리고 기술과의 관계성을 눈과 귀, 몸으로 경험하도록 유도하며 현실과 가상의 세계를 넘나드는 우리 인간의 명상적 이야기를 전합니다.
