Statement
The roaming swarms of fish diving into the sand through non-linear time
Artificial stars glitter in the bosom of the swamp
There used to be my homeland
The water gears are turning
rhythmically shredding the neural network of rocks
Within the whisper of stones
coding the curse of shaman
Where are the boundaries of matter?
Faith beyond the binary
Ancient magic locked in a hybrid intelligence system
Born in the dust, returned to the dawn
Stony voice is the evolution of interaction and co-cooperation with nature. Based on animism, sympathetic sorcery, sound alchemy in the energetic entanglement of ancient technological biome, proving the mobility of high-tech magic and the existence of paranoid hallucinations. JiYun Xia’s work creates an ancient beginning of Anti-Anthropocerntrism with a non-binary logic, sympathetic system and speculative perspective to reconstruct a transcendentalist landscape of mixed reality, which tears the boundaries of space-time and substance and writes an open ending of past and future: When technology is regarded as an ancient magic, it born from the dust and reverts to the dawn.

Looking outward into the world from the perspective of the womb: exploring technology, the body, spirituality, and the energy of life, experiencing how the sympathetic nervous system tears through the boundaries of matter in a ritualistic scenario. The intersection of ancient spiritual practices and future rituals is explored in a non-linear expression through ambient electronic music, generative digital moving images, and 3D printing technology, connected by interactive programming. Cyborg's body carries a mix of identities. Human, machine, and beast combined: summoning otherworldly energy to surrender spirits. Post-Anthropocene debris creates Stone Age electronic lullabies and non-dualistic technological allegories.
