린 난다르 투 (Lynn Nandar Htoo), <디지털 의례 (Digital Rituals)> (2026)

소셜 미디어의 분절된 영상들을 수집하여 위기 상황 속에서 발현되는 인간의 생존 본능과 회복력을 조명한다. 재난과 일상이 기이하게 결합된 이 영상들은 단순한 희극을 넘어, 결핍과 공포를 공유 가능한 콘텐츠로 치환하는 현대적 의례(Ritual)를 보여준다. 작가는 이러한 디지털 파편들을 미래의 ‘문화적 화석’으로 설정함으로써, 기록에 대한 인간의 욕망과 그 속에 내재된 부조리한 진실을 탐구한다.

This work gathers the leftover fragments of our online lives — TikTok and Facebook videos that are chaotic and sometimes so absurd they feel almost unreal. Viral dances in conflict area, makeup tutorials recorded during blackouts, cooking clips made with barely any ingredients, jokes that sit right on the edge between comedy and collapse.

They look ridiculous at first glance, but that’s exactly the point: the absurdity is part of how people cope. It becomes a survival instinct — turning crisis into content, turning fear into a punchline, turning everyday struggle into something shareable. These strange, messy videos say more about human resilience than any polished narrative ever could.

The installation imagines a moment after this version of the internet, when these clips become cultural fossils. What will people see in our need to document everything — especially the moments shaped by chaos?
