Do we all get the same information?
“Woldeu Waidu” (World Wide) by Yehwan Song was made of a real-time rendered website, projector, toy train tracks, computer mice, and a computer program. The purpose behind the artwork having the same image/video (of a flower) appearing on flat panels but having slight variations in the speed of each projection, background colors, image sizes, and quality is to point out the idea that we’re all receiving the same information and news, just through a different way. The installation shows that everyone gets different results depending on the individual browsing environment.
As with all the digital technology, mediums, and formats intertwined with each other, creating a new art-piece that shows the connections between art and technology, I think this installation has importance in the history of digital arts. Because the idea to use toy train tracks and a mouse moving in a circle, to show that we are stuck in the never-ending loop of browsing through the internet was what made me think was a fresh idea to make us reflect on ourselves
