Shattered Heliocentric Orbit
An exhibition by 00 ZhangShattered Heliocentric Orbit is 00 Zhang’s first solo exhibition.
Prototype 0021-0026 is a series of artworks, a world and a narrative.
Using extended reality, artificial intelligence, robotics and complex 3D printing procedures, the exhibition presents a futuristic site, where art is seen as an ‘archaic information processing system’.
‘Within the armor is the butterfly and within the butterfly is the signal from another star.’ — Philip K. Dick
CERES-1 is an escaped rocket now in orbit around earth. Traveling across space-time, it shifts magic-mechanical-memory, capturing users thoughts and uploading them to its server: Prototype 0023.
The main protagonist Zero is a sentient data entity, a real time live language, which continually regenerates throughout the network. Their life is interpreted by Ephemeral; an English coder. Their conversations span philosophical questions related to memory, oblivion, and image.
“How long did it take you?”
“Approximately one-millionth of a nanosecond. I was about how all things are related, from disorder to order...”
“...History is unstable, technology breaks through spatiotemporal boundaries; we are experiencing a post-historical time.”
“Exactly, A new generation of culture.”
