The artwork reflects the multi-faceted influences of Vietnam’s history, including foreign colonization, liberation, and ideologies. It acknowledges the role of digital media and the Internet as new catalysts of cultural influence in Vietnam and expresses a desire to celebrate and embrace the ever-evolving socio-cultural landscape.
The artwork’s foundation is a collection of 350 generative modules taken from “L’Art à Huế” (1919), an archival book by Léopold Cadière that captures the traditional ornamental details of Vietnam’s former capital — Huế. These modules underwent computational processes to create digital images with digitized and degraded effects.
