“What does it mean for an image to live, die, and be reborn?”
Son to Sun: The Forever Elephant is an artistic research project that merges AI-generated imagery with 3D-scanned antique toys in an experimental animation. Through a reincarnation ritual of the image (the elephant), it constructs a liminal space between 象 (imagery) and 像 (image), exploring the ontology of (material / immaterial / nonmaterial) images in the age of technological singularity, and the potential of endogenous images to be transmitted through soft images.
