Monstermind
Rho Jae Oon has been producing works that give new meanings to images, texts, and sounds he collected from the internet and induce change the way of thinking, appropriating the technique of montage, a technique in film editing. Rho tells that we should enlighten ourselves about the danger of the transcendent speed that is accelerated by ‘smart’ platforms such as social network services. Rather than discussing the stereotypical optimism or hostility to the digital and the internet, we shall recognize the fact that the velocity of technology might induce us to unconscious conformity towards the myths created by the establishment. Monstermind is an interface* created by the artist, which plays a role of an attitude that responds to information and temporality of the current time and functions as a platform that combines them in a different dimension. * Interface: A term to describe a physical or imaginary medium created to enable communication between objects or humans. For example, a landline telephone or a mobile phone can be examples of an inter-human interface in its physical forms. Virtual forms of the inter-human interface can be cable and wireless networks. * Monster Mind: In everyday use, ‘Monster Mind’ is a programme for protecting against cyber warfare without order or command by human and it is supposed to sense an attack automatically. Beyond that, it means a supernational and artificial intelligence.
