Laboratory of the Flow of Consciousness (2016): An Experimental Exploration of Process-Oriented Art

In Laboratory of the Flow of Consciousness (2016), the work is grounded in an exploration of the hands as both a central subject and a medium, engaging a variety of interdisciplinary techniques such as rubber gloves, live action, performance, installation, and video projection. The use of rubber gloves acts as a critical device, symbolically challenging conventional interpretations of human responsibility. This choice reflects a conscious subversion of typical ethical norms and redefines the artist’s engagement with themes of human interaction and moral accountability.
The emphasis on process rather than final product reflects an epistemological shift toward valuing the exploratory nature of the creative act over the attainment of a defined outcome. This approach mirrors the concept of the laboratory—a place for dynamic experimentation free from predetermined solutions—and thereby affirms the artist’s commitment to an open-ended and investigative methodology. In such a space, the unpredictability of artistic outcomes becomes not only possible but central to the generation of innovative and emergent forms of creative expression.
