This artistic research "Silence surrounds us, silence around us" was started in 2020 after the coronavirus pandemic. "X" is a new beginning of artistic research in the research series "Silence surrounds us, silence around us".
I continuously explore the research method of "work in progress" in artistic research from the perspective of biology. (For a new geometry and a new topology in the arts, in the 21st century)
Transdisciplinary artistic research in the visual arts with architecture and music, concerning transversal aesthetics.
The keyword "Ageing" in this artistic research is a philosophical consideration. For instance, "capital" in Marx's theory, "immateriality" and "materiality" in capitalism, thereby, how is "Ageing" viewed? What gaps between cultural and mental aspects and social conditions? What role can art play in answering these questions? Therefore, my attempt in artistic research is through string theory as well as Einstein's special relativity theory in the 21st century, to explore the new value (as well as, quantum) of ageing towards capitalism of all democratic social systems and their ideologies for something new.
This artistic research addresses the study of ecology in the sense of art. "Ecology is the process by which organisms interact with each other and their environment, with the environment as a stage and ecology as the performance." (Ecology: A Very Short Introduction, Jaboury Ghazoul, Oxford: OUP, 2020) On the subject of "interaction" from the aspect of ecology, there are gaps between physical phenomenon and virtual phenomenon, between our sense (perception, cognition and recognition) and measurement, the fact of what that is. (Normative and Normativity) Thereby, I deal with these topics through art in the artistic research "Silence surrounds us, silence around us" – X.

The central theme of this research is to pioneer the adaptation of LIDAR scanning technology as part of a cross-disciplinary visual arts methodology. The research is expressed via a contemporary dance work and a moving-image gallery installation.
