Thinking is the core of art making while repeating is the key to thinking. By repeating once and once again, by thinking once and once again, we know what we are, we know what we will do.
The core story of OaOA tells of an old man reminiscing about his life, murmuring “once and once again” as he does so. Using this story, I hope to discuss the value of repetition in the creative process. This theme can lead to questions such as:
1. Universal values, knowledge, and truth, and the repetition and emptiness of fate
2. Action-oriented creation
3. The significance of traditional techniques
4. Discussions of appropriation and plagiarism in contemporary art
5. The possibilities of replication and iteration in art in the context of technology
In practical creative practice, this theme is also used to provide a context for my material and technique experimentation and training. That is, using “repetition” as the theme, conducting material experiments and technique experiments, while improving and mastering techniques, and considering the possibility of participating in other creations.
Currently, material experiments based on this creation include:
1. Paper writing
2. Binary text knitting
3. Art book making (in the process of creation)
4. Binary text weaving (in the process of creation)
In the future, we will try more materials and techniques based on this theme and invite other artists to participate in this creative theme.
