Hyuntae Lee

Taking a walk through web spaces, Lee layers real-time extracted sounds and lights within a space. Each source overlaps, blends, converses, and collides within each passing second. Through the interplay of countless rules and coincidences in this intersection of time and space, they form an invisible network and become a vast rhythm. Within the fundamental law of time—that to experience one second, one must live through it—Time Chamber (1sec/sec) (2024) creates new moments with each passing second. Time Travel (2024), a recording of this journey, invokes the `Time Chamber` differently every moment through a cassette tape that gradually stretches with the passage of time. After traveling through 60 minutes of the past, one arrives at the present, 60 minutes later. This non-linear one-way tripguides us into uncharted moments, unveiling time's untold stories.

Lee Hyuntae unravels unpredictable temporalities by weaving together elements that he believes can be controlled through web-based media experiments. Fascinated by the complex audiovisual systems and the ecosystems that emerge throughout this journey, he continues his related explorations.
