Carousel, 2015

Science Fiction, 3D Model Data
Carousel is series of 3D models illustrates a science fiction art project. Below is an archived art review of the art exhibition in a post-human Earth human existence. Earth is an art venue in sub value real estate waiting for gentrification.

From the footnotes of a thesis in Technology Cultural Studies Department at University of California Davies' Solid State Archives:

"Cartography Scans of Longing Landscapes: Political Visibilities Through the Historicity in Visual Information Technologies"

“I remember searching for an artist of Korean-German ancestry. It was the last admitted review by the critic Musica Minehead in the quarterly publication, Lens End 2025. The review described structures of ruined landscapes point-cloud projected onto the surface of the Earth, an invisible monument, she calls a 'Page'. I recall the title, illuminated in my image-subtexts. Its shattering revelation appears to me in the raking light like pieces of porcelain on a blank white floor.

The reviewer's intricate comments on the series were sourced from Kim-Zwick's notated explorations from within the island-sized film plane, she became closer to the data.

In her journal, she jotted down coordinates of a burning monk, fallen towers, student protests, political summits, emptied theaters, copulated actors, musical concerts, earthquakes, and long highways leading out of cities paved with automobiles. All of these images fabricated in the material of moonlight.

Our images etched into grids,

parallel by our shadows,

joining the darkened curved facade below.

Visitors became the part of Carousel, wandering permanently in their desires of humans' post-Earth archives."
