16 June 2024, Singapore - Fables of Modernity is a series of work that re-imagines the authenticity of an individual's perception towards identity and culture of home. It examines the perception of a machine towards the artists' culture and tradition of his hometown, and how it infuses traditional aspects with computational methodologies of thinking and perceptualizing the term of home.
During this residency, the artist aims to experiment with different mediums such as the
implementations of GANs (Generative Adversarial Networks), Generative Design, AI, and Sound Design to execute the research. An expected outcome of this residency would be an installation of home showcasing inputs of datas and images, alongside computational poetry and literature.
With an anchor towards a new form of experimental approach in his practice, this will be his first solo presentation revolving around the usage of creative technologies and how the artist combines his usual perspective of home and culture towards a new form of medium.
Joseph Tasman is an Indonesian visual storyteller and multidisciplinary creative currently based in Singapore. His practice often delves into a more experimental approach, with a flair in exploring the intersections within the arts, science, and design. He strives to create a better impact for our surroundings by coming up with innovative ways of narratives and perspectives be it in a direct or speculative form.
His current research interest revolves around the topics of bio-materialities and technology, specifically in investigating methodologies of how home and traditional cultures can intertwine with current trends and sustainability issues.
He has exhibited his works in various countries such as Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand, Italy, Greece, and recently at the Noorderlicht Photography Festival in the Netherlands. He is a recent graduate from LASALLE College of the Arts, with a diploma in Design Communication and Experiences, with a specialisation in Creative Programming.
