Lin, Cheng-Yu: Night Ride: Solo Exhibition

Night Road: Carrier begins with a reflection on how contemporary perception increasingly unfolds through screens. Within digital display technologies, black is not a color. In LCD displays, black appears when backlight is blocked by the liquid crystal layer; in OLED displays, it occurs when pixels cease to emit light. Black is therefore not applied pigment but a momentary suspension of image and signal-a state before the image comes into being.

Taking this condition as a conceptual departure, the exhibition considers how image technologies reshape the relationship between body and perception. When a night lamp illuminates the landscape beyond a window, the moving scenery appears as a sequence of continuously updating frames. In this moment, the body no longer occupies the position of a distant viewer, but gradually becomes the condition and the carrier through which images are generated and experienced.
