Description

"The Ancestors : Move pt1." is one of four short films with sound. Made by Lai, Tsung-Yun in Nov. 2022. "The Ancestors" is an anthropological portrait of an aboriginal elder with a facial tattoo in Taiwan. Since the colonial government during the Japanese rule banned this tradition on civilizational grounds, this precious cultural tradition has officially disappeared with the death of the last aboriginal elder to be documented. Therefore, I used machine learning techniques to integrate the collected images of the tattooed aborigines with other human tissue image databases. This allowed the computer program to automatically create the virtual digital Aboriginal people it imagined. This is an attempt to allow these extinct aboriginal cultures to continue to exist in different forms and spaces. The work is also minted on the blockchain and stored in a decentralized way for permanent preservation.
