hyper.data-N°3[9ch. ver.]

When visual and sonic elements are stripped of their original meanings and reduced to signals, data, and code, how is space perceived? How does the body respond to flows of information that exceed the limits of comprehension?

“hyper.data” refers not only to data itself, but also to its continuous circulation and expansion between virtual and physical realities. The series extends the artist’s ongoing Seen/Unseen project, initiated after the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake, and explores the relationship between data, sensory perception, and the construction of reality.

hyper.data-N°3[9ch. ver.] consists of images generated in real time by nine independent computer programs. Its source material derives from seismic records collected by more than 1,100 observation stations at 14:46 on March 11, 2011, including location, time, seismic intensity, magnitude, and waveform data. By dismantling the original texts and images and translating them into the operational structures of the programs themselves, the work transforms data from a mere description of an event into an alternative field of perception. When the volume of information exceeds the threshold of human recognition, do the senses encounter traces of reality—or anxiety and disorientation before an invisible world?

當視覺與聲音被抽離原有意義，還原為訊號、數據與程式編碼，空間如何被感知？身體又如何面對超越理解尺度的資訊流？

「hyper.data」不僅指涉資料本身，也指向資料在虛擬與現實之間持續流動、擴張的狀態。此系列延續藝術家自2011年日本東北大地震後展開的「Seen/Unseen」計畫，探討數據、感官與現實認知之間的關係。

《hyper.data-N°3[9頻道版]》由九個獨立程式即時生成影像，數據取自2011年3月11日14時46分，超過1,100座觀測站所記錄的地震資訊，包括位置、時間、震度、規模與波形。作品將原有文字與圖像拆解，轉化為程式自身的運算結構，使數據不再只是對事件的描述，而成為另一種接近真實的感知場域。當資訊量超越人腦可辨識的臨界點，感官所接收到的，究竟是現實的痕跡，還是面對不可見世界時產生的焦慮與失序？
