Pavilion.

The article reviews Samson Young's 2025 installation *Pavilion* at the New Taipei City Art Museum, which features a large multiscreen structure displaying fragmented, generative AI–processed imagery accompanied by a male choir echoing György Ligeti’s textures from *2001: A Space Odyssey*. The work situates itself within a historical lineage of overhead image-worlds—from Paleolithic caves to the 1964 IBM Pavilion’s data-driven cinematic display—while exploring contemporary digital infrastructures as pervasive, recursive systems shaping perception and knowledge. *Pavilion* critiques the mechanized circulation of information and its potential to induce indifference, contrasting this with the choir’s human temporality that evokes memory and resistance to full assimilation into digital time. The installation thus reflects on the tension between machinic recursion and human experience within the evolving "artificial earth" of computational environments. [Extracted from the article]
