Fresh Faces: Odelia Tang

I have been experimenting with some simple digital renders as an investigation of “haunted” digital spaces. I am fascinated by the unnerving and uncanny feelings of the more recent trend of liminal spaces like the backrooms creepypasta, which reminded me of my long-time love of the horror game series ‘Silent Hill’,particularly ‘P.T.’ and ‘The Room’. I wanted to create some of my own spaces and play with digital media more, to see what kind of spaces and sculptures I would create as a result.

Liminal spaces are fascinating because they are so relatable to my generation, and they are a by-product of our brand of existentialism blended with nostalgia. Bigger than that, their poetics also lie in the representation of a long unknown journey, but there is a start and an end, so let’s see where that takes me.
