Pixelized Zen

"Moment of truth" does not exist in photography. Every frame represents only a glimpse of selective reality. Nam June Paik’s “TV Buddha, 1974” intrigues the world with its proposed infinite loop of Zen. Exploring in my own selective reality, I introduced a still camera working inside of a video game system to interrupt the flux and capture pieces of the Buddha’s being—Pixelized Zen. Every still frame of this series is neither a mirror nor a reflection of the truth. Afterall, what is the truth? Pixelized Zen is an interpolation between Paik’s Zen Buddhism and the evolution of digital identities.
