Extrastellar Evaluations III : Entropy : 25800

Yin-Ju Chen / Taiwan / 2018 / Central European Premiere / 17 min.


synopsis

The melancholic atmosphere of wandering a landscape scarred by kitschy disco rainbows and colorful illustrations opens up the possibility of an extra-planetary consciousness sending a message in which references to the laws of thermodynamics and Mayan symbolism encounter critical interpretations of an expected confrontation between humanity and the cosmos.  

"‘IT‘ knows." Yin-Ju Chen

biography

Taiwanese artist Yin-Ju Chen uses her diverse range of works to explore a variety of existential questions. Her eclectically rich body of work – which draws, among other things, from cultural and social anthropology, esotericism, and behaviorism, with an emphasis on juxtaposing shapes and patterns – has become a mainstay at many festivals and exhibitions. She previously appeared at the Ji.hlava IDFF with the films Lessons of the Blood (2010) and End Transmission (2011).
