Very deep night in bread is her first work using live streaming. She said that she had to take the video right at that time because the place where she took was in the middle of reconstruction. If she didn’t take the video at that time, it could be destructed and disappeared next week. So she choose the live-streaming method to take, document and upload(exhibit) it at the same time without editing. By doing so, she tried to make the trails which were soon disappeared keep visible and put them on the never disappeared space, which is online virtual world.
The place in the video was a historical place in Jongno-gu, Seoul. It was a old downtown from Joseon dynasty. But these days, this historical place is in danger to be reconstructed to huge apartment complex by major constructing company. She encountered the opportunities to get in this place secretly. Also she took some photos of scribbles on the wall in the place and edited the video with this photos later. Some of them were very poetic, some of them were expressed the writer’s anger and some of them didn’t make any sense.

Dunkedunke studio is a video streaming project made by a media virtual collective. Dunkedunke studio call their video as ‘fluid sculpture’, flowing on the screen of the video platform ‘Youtube’. Fluid sculpture is the result of combining collected texts and videos. They try to express the random state of the live streaming process by choosing this word. They embrace the variable and glitch as a basic condition of fluid sculpture during web streaming.
Until now, they made total 12 live streaming videos which have all different poetic titles. These works were made by YiHeads and her virtual partner (another herself) to experiment the video streaming platform as a exhibition place.
In this virtual collective, ’YiHeads’ collects sound, phrases and information on the internet, images taken on the street, pictures from other people and abandoned objects. ‘Another YiHeads’ (virtual anonymous character) edits and reforms the stories and images through live streaming. They said that collecting could be ‘writing’ and ‘editing’ could be erasing. By repeating writing and erasing, they try to reveal the stories which are abandoned from the real world and find the other space between virtual and physical reality. The concept of this group that is collaborating with ‘Another YiHeads’ is to deal with invisible area such as virtuality, myth and dream etc.
