Everything in life has
its own suitable tempo. Scripting is a rectangular arrangement of fluorescent
light tubes, and is a narration of slow moving waves that represent life's ups
and downs. The rhythmic movements of the piece is in reference to aquatic movements,
and combined with musical attributes, the movements are sometimes erratic and
sometimes in unison. The moving postures are like scripts for life. The artist
collective attempts to present the work in a minimalistic style, and as the
audience listens quietly, a rhythm of the light tubes that cycles with the
lighting in the space with a specific tempo could be observed. Through precise
computer calculations, the inorganic light tubes seem to have been given a
life-like vitality. As the straight light tubes twist and turn in the dark room
with various postures, they appear like primitive life forms observed under the
microscope or from the deep ocean bed. Presented is a tangible image of
abstracted quality, as the act of scripting continues to document life. As one
gazes at the shifting lights and the moving tempos, between imagination and
reality, psychologically, an escape is made to transcend beyond the visual.
Amidst seeing and gazing, look for the most suitable tempo for yourself.
