Searching all sources of white
Gi Wai Echo Hui · 2020
Searching All Sources of White presents the error as the landscape. It is an interactive video installation examining the idea of the limitation of seeing. The projector projects a blue screen while a white spot falls in the middle. Blue is often seen in a digital display namely default screen, calibration screen, sleep mode, and 'Blue Screen of Death'. In an exhibition setting, this work gives the impression of a failure in the display when the projector displays a blue, standbymode. Standby is a component mode in which a system is kept readily available in case an unexpected event occurs. A system may be on standby in case of failure, shortage, or other similar events.
