[ISEA2002] Artist Statement: Ko Nakajima — Biological Cycle 5

Artist Statement

Media Select Programme

1971-1975, 8′ 11″, colour

A work was originally produced in 1971 on black-and-white 35mm film. The image was treated in various ways, such as with a video synthesizer and CG digital effects, representing various periods of time. It is transformed in various ways, and the same image can expand indefinitely beyond the creator’s concept. Now the image retains none of its original form. Digitally modified Biological Cycle is positioned at the opposite extreme of my other work “My Life”. You have to see both to discover what they mean!
