In the ray-tracing system a 3D-computer graphic science calculates how to cast a shadow based on the crystal surface’s refractions and caustics: when the crystal objects drift, the shadows change dramatically.
All the crystal objects in ‘Drifting Objects’ involve specific issues, incidents, conflicts and disasters around the earth. For instance, Elon Musk's Starlink satellite, a jet engine, oil drums, gas pipelines, police protective gear and helmet from South Korean candle rallies, the dictator’s favourite whiskey bottle and national assembly’s gavel, the North Korean nuclear bomb, container (global shipping crisis) etc.
There is no gravity in this video, invisible forces and turbulence fields make them drift chaotically like the global world’s economic system and geopolitics that are intertwined complicatedly. There is no centre force, but only unpredictably drifting objects. This is the portrait of humanity in this world without a human figure.
