ទឹកដីនៃបទចម្រៀង Srok Song - Interactive Exhibit (2024)

Exhibit Installation at the Vicki Myhren Gallery from May 23rd, 2024 to June 16th, 2024

SROK SONG: The Delving is an interactive mixed media exhibit consisting of an immersive living space, a narrative-driven single-player video game, and an artifact catalog. Each aspect of the project blends the line between reality and fiction and creates an over-arching narrative. Participants are invited to spend as much time in the space as they desire. You can play the video game, touch and interact with every object you encounter, and treat the items just as you would if they were
within your own home.

The general aesthetic of the space is influenced by an American home in the 1990s to 2000, particularly blending an Asian immigrant diaspora with the U.S. West Coast and Midwest regions. It is meant to gently evoke a dim dreamscape and feelings of nostalgia. Many of the tangible objects within the space – the furniture, the trinkets, the outfits, the textiles – are in conversation with the video game, linking the physical and digital realms. This project encourages connections across differences in race, culture, gender, time, space, and so on. Participants are invited to contemplate verisimilitude and encouraged to think about the significance and weight of fiction, truth and cultural history.
