Airan Kang’s book is not just a simple object. It is a temporal space. It is a virtual reality containing the infinitely expanding depth, width, and volume that defy the meaning introspected in its sentences.
Books, with their incredible physical volume are now being transformed into a database, existing without physicality by being compressed into an infinite volume. The process of knowledge breaking away from the material state constitutes the virtual ocean full of knowledge and information, and we become a voyager in quest of the place. Accordingly, the book as a material object gradually disappears, turning into a non-material moving body crossing over the boundary between reality and virtual reality.
In this work, she tries to find, through the motif of her book, its original ‘cyber identity’ at the level of knowledge and language for a new way of communication in the digital era in which a nomadic life is expressed.
