Aloïs Yang, Cycles of Rebirth and Redie, 06:01, Prague, 2023

Aloïs Yang’s composition is a metaphor for the unmeasurable extinction caused by forest fires across the world. Yang takes a personal experience of a large fire taking place at the Czech-German border in 2022 as a point of departure. By creating a ring of fire with slowly melting ice block situated in the very middle, the artist creates a metaphysical experience about transformation and the fragility of the ephemeral.
Aloïs Yang says: “My work is influenced both by scientific reference and human imperfection of understanding the nature, that leads me to craft experiments to investigate the perception of time and space on both “outer” physical world and “inner” metaphysical levels of awareness – as a manifestation of how we contextualize the overlapping realities in between body and mind, objective explanation and subjective projection, analogue and digital, certainty and unknown.

Aloïs Yang is a conceptual media artist, performer and experimental musician.
He uses sound as the primary medium that is interconnected with data of context, visual, lighting, and human interaction. Through observation of natural phenomena, sensors, and real time computation, he places human participation at the center of the piece, where unique and unrepeatable reflections are generated – as an organic sonic environment that evolves through time.
Interaction in Yang’s work takes place not just in objective reality, but also inside of intimate experience and imaginative projection, traveling among such varied subjects as brain function, micro/macro realities, environmental cycle system, water, sonic animism, starlight, yin yang, and the beginning of the Universe.
