ZIKE HE

Zike HE (b.1990, Guiyang) is a media artist whose recent projects are developed with research ranging from digital space and machine learning to infrastructure and deep time, and with the exploration of their shapes in daily life. “Random Access” is a mode of reading and writing datum (as in random access memory, RAM) where any arbitrary address can be accessed in equal time no matter where it is located. It also refers to how we process memory, especially in the time interwoven deeply with digital technology. As a speculative hypothesis of the experience in the Cloud World, the film is set in Guiyang, a mountainous and cloudy city, where many big data infrastructures locate, including the first iCloud data center in Asia and the host of FAST (Five hundred meter Aperture Spherical Telescope). The story follows a fictional narrative that happens on the second day after the city’s central data center unexpectedly crashes and reboots.
