Snow Yunxue Fu
Conjoin (Chapter 3)

Commissioned Sound by Daniel Brookman & Studio Assistants Jun Young Kang and Ashley Liu

The collection of the floating liquid forms the shapes of the bodies together at times and then disintegrate into other objects and parts, underlining the connectivity we have with one another, in both material and immaterial ways. We have a long-term dilemma for we have a short-term body. Working with 3D software and CG imaging technology, Fu creates scenes of experimental abstraction that translate the concept of liminality into the subliminal digital experience.
