Yin-Ju Chen's Final Extrastellar Evaluations Chapter Explores Cosmic Prophecy at TKG+ Projects
The solo exhibition 'Extrastellar Evaluations III: Entropy: 25800' by Yin-Ju Chen is hosted at TKG+ Projects in Taipei from January 6 to February 14, 2018. Central to the exhibit is a 16-minute and 47-second video created in 2018, featuring a computer-generated voice named Ra, inspired by The Law of One texts. This exhibition showcases a mix of video, drawings, and animations that delve into themes surrounding the universe's conclusion and humanity's fate post-Age of Iron. It incorporates landscape visuals, animations, and archival clips, with subtitles highlighting concepts like entropy. Additionally, five charcoal and pencil drawings from 2017 and a steel planetary sun gear are included, linking back to Chen's 2014 Liquidation Maps series and addressing contemporary ecological and military issues.
