Operating at the intersection between technology and art, Chris Shen has conducted research on the characteristics of the instruments and devices and explored his own artistic methodologies. The exhibition Lume(Auto) on display at the Nam June Paik Art Center shows an interminable interaction of objects, using automatic security lights, based on a chain reaction of lights operated by neighboring sensors. Shen explains it as an ‘unpredictable propagation as well as binary ripples of light.’ The artist creates a new way of communication or interaction, and presents a series of open ended questions so that the viewers can discover their own meaning through the works, whilst examining the effects of complex structures of devices or instruments on our everyday life.
