About the Artist
Shaowen Wang
As a student navigating the hyper-connected landscape of mobile media, I am fascinated by how short-form video—a medium requiring minimal willpower yet offering instant gratification—has quietly colonised our collective leisure time. My work explores the paradox of choice within digital structures. For this project, I engaged in the 'random' act of scrolling, a behavior governed by invisible algorithmic logic, to harvest twenty-five video segments. By applying a secondary randomized mechanism to extract and reconfigure specific elements, I constructed this 'Art Media Museum.' This space functions as a digital reliquary, birthed from the very algorithms it critiques. It is an exploration of my generation’s fragmented reality, questioning whether our digital spontaneity is truly our own, or merely a sequence pre-determined by the machine
