PRESS RELEASE
BETWEEN is
the intersection of randomness and order, poetry and chatter, the abstract and
the concrete.
BETWEEN is an internet art action by Alisa Yang that is quiet, subtlety
confrontational, poetically provocative and due to its repeating pattern of 80
drawn symbols and phrases is like a seemingly never-ending meditative slide
show.
From her statement, Yang says, “When we look, we are driven by the desire to make meanings even if there is none. In my recent work, I am applying the mechanics of the arbitrary system of assigning meaning to my process. It is an act to protest against the authority of signs and language by appealing to its discontinuous activity. Motivated by my distrust of absolute sensorial and conceptual representations, I create in the room for mistakes; with the intentions of my work thriving in the negative space of what happens in between…”
