Jaimie An
Jaimie An, 1992, is a research-based artist, whose practice consists of sculptures, installations, processes, and algorithms rooted in scientific research, philosophical inquiries, and material exploration. Her work weaves across multiple disciplines using her background in mathematics and technology as a foundation for a system of overlapping analogies that tease at the relationship between logic, consciousness, perception, identity and the body. An has received her B.A. in Studio Art and Mathematics from Boston College, C.F.A. from The New York Academy of Art, and is currently pursuing her M.F.A in Sculpture from Rhode Island School of Design.
Jaimie An’s new work titled Memento Mori v.2 is an investigation into our relationship with the very technologies that we create and rely on and the forces of cosmos that we have yet to understand and remain at its mercy. There is a pervasive sense that digital models, and by extension, information archived in our computers, exist in perpetuity in infinite precision and without decay, impervious to the laws that govern physical reality. This is yet another representation of our pursuit of immortality. By exploring cosmic rays as a catalyst for disruption and decay, An hope to challenge these assumptions and reflect on our own hubris and vulnerability in facing this chasm between ideals and material world.
Cosmic rays are high-energy particles produced by distant exploding stars. They collide with the earth’s atmosphere, resulting in subatomic particles raining down to the surface. This constant bombardment has had some interesting effects on our computers. Ironically, it is the advancements in our electronics, making the transistors so small that makes the computers more susceptible to these particles, causing a phenomenon known as bit-flips. This can result in data corruption, often soft, and sometimes catastrophic errors in our digital technologies.
賈米．安，1992年出生，是一位以科學研究、哲學探究和物質探索為根基的研究型藝術家，其實踐包括雕塑、裝置、過程和算法。她的作品跨越多個學科領域，利用她在數學和技術方面的背景作為重疊類比系統的基礎，探討邏輯、意識、知覺、身份和身體之間的關係。安在波士頓學院（Boston College）獲得了藝術和數學學士學位，並在紐約藝術學院（The New York Academy of Art）獲得了C.F.A學位，目前正在羅德島設計學院（Rhode Island School of Design）攻讀雕塑藝術碩士學位。
賈米．安的新作品〈Memento Mori v.2〉是對自身及自身創造並依賴的科技間關係的探究，以及我們對宇宙力量的理解尚不完善，且仍處於其支配之下的調查。有一種普遍的認知，即是數位模型以永恆的精確性存在於我們計算機中的訊息，且不受物理規範和法則影響，無法腐朽。這又是我們對永生的追求的另一種體現。通過將宇宙射線作為干擾和衰變的催化劑，我希望挑戰這些假設，並反思我們在理想與物質世界之間面對的自大和脆弱。
宇宙射線是由遙遠的爆炸星球產生的高能粒子。它們與地球的大氣層相碰，導致亞原子粒子降落到地表。這種持續的轟炸對我們的計算機產生了一些有趣的影響。諷刺的是，正是我們電子技術的進步，使得晶體管變得如此微小，使得計算機更容易受到這些粒子的影響，從而引發了所謂的位翻轉現象。這可能導致數據損壞，通常是軟件，有時甚至是我們數位技術中的災難性錯誤。
