Vibrating Medium: Archaeology of the Pagodatransforms vertical symbols from different cultures into sound-driven particle imagery. The Dabotap Pagoda, church spires, and the Statue of Liberty symbolize human aspirations for well-being, salvation, and freedom. Sounds of wooden temple blocks, Gregorian chants, and democratic speeches reshape the images across five vertically stacked CRT monitors. Through these shifting forms, the work explores enduring human aspirations and the changing media that carry them.
