Between Wakes
吳 冠儒 / Kuan-Ju Wu, 胡 悠揚 / Youyang Hu, 筧 康明 / Yasuaki Kakehi
When an object moves across water, it leaves a wake. Another kind of wake is the stirring of perception—not full awakening, but a threshold attention hovering between unconsciousness and awareness. Here, consciousness is not owned by a single mind; it is distributed across bodies, water, and artificial intelligence. In Between Wakes, a shallow tray of water is touched; the system senses the point of contact and transmits it as a trace. In a larger tank, a moving instrument re-materializes that trace as a new disturbance. The work dwells in the interval between these wakes, where perception remains suspended—an awareness still in the making.
