ABSTRACT
Chandra X is a series of artistic diagnoses on the state of Planetary, implemented as WebXR(2021) and 3D Performative Apparatus-Environment(2022). The series speculates on how the natural environment and biodiversity still functions as a large capital in the near future. Inspecting the multilayers of remote surveillance system powered by virtualreal networks and neo-colonialist interactions, the artwork reimagines the audience's performative engagement as a counterbalance to such system.
In Chandra X, audiences are invited to perform as meta-authorities to Chandra(they/them), who are interplanetary network environment manager(s) living in a near future, authorized with a certain degree of access to bio-resources in the universe. Remotely accessing the planets in charge, Chandra perform a set of labor such as Wielding, Archiving, Supervising, Detecting ('WASD') the planetarian's production and use of resources, for which Chandra earn 'hyper-capital' from their meta-authorities. As meta-authorities to Chandra, the audience-performers are also remotely connected to the labor of Chandra(s), infinitely doubling their acts of Wielding, Archiving, Supervising, Detecting.
The technical mise-en-scene of Chandra X is defined as "3D Performative Apparatus-Environment". This setting comprises 1) WebXR as a 3D virtual labor-scape and, 2) mobile-based AR as an intervention tool. These apparatuses together serve as audiovisual diegeses that are inter-connected via cross-device interactions, hence interoperate. In such a setting, audiences can connect and intervene in each other's experiences in real-time, across the heterogeneous realities in heterogeneous device network environments; give and receive interaction and feedback on their performative behaviors.
In the 3D Performative Apparatus-Environment, Chandra X intends to constantly re-situate the audience-performers amid the indeterminate states of being colonized and/or colonizing; of being autonomous and/or subordinate to a predesigned labor and belief system; and as a contemporaneous being in AD 2022 who receives the SOS message and alerts sent by Chandra themselves.
