Originless Paleobeast

Originless Paleobeast begins with the dinosaur imaginary, rejecting the notion that “truth” equates to the indexical truth of fossils. Instead, it transforms the process of image-making into a shared practice for the audience. The installation comprises three rows of five robotic units: Kinect v2 real-time recognition captures full-body posture, translating bodily signals into saurian bending profiles through postural grammar. The work's objective lies not in “reconstructing species,” but in offering a public method to understand and collectively fabricate our accepted ancient visual memories. It employs time as design material to achieve cross-temporal linkage with dinosaurs.
